How Maurice does it

pan-fry
  1. 1

    Prepare the ingredients: slice the bread, cheese, onions, and tomatoes. Have the anchovies and dried herbs ready.

  2. 2

    Place two slices of bread on a cutting board. Layer with sliced cheese, tomato slices, onion rings, anchovy fillets, and a sprinkle of dried herbs. Repeat with the remaining two slices of bread.

  3. 3

    Heat a metal pan over medium heat. Add a pat of butter and let it melt, then add more butter and swirl to coat the pan.

  4. 4

    Carefully place one assembled bread slice cheese-side down into the melted butter. Place the second assembled bread slice cheese-side down as well. Cook until the cheese is golden and crispy, then flip both slices to toast the other side.

  5. 5

    Sprinkle shredded cheese directly into the hot pan around the bread slices to form a crispy cheese skirt. Remove the pan from heat.

  6. 6

    Using tongs, remove the toasted bread slices with their crispy cheese skirts and place them on a cutting board. Cut each slice diagonally in half and arrange the four triangular pieces on the board. Serve immediately.
