Recipe information

    15 minutes

  • Yield

    Makes 18

Ingredients

2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter
2 anchovy fillets, drained, chopped
1 tablespoon whole milk
18 1/2-inch-thick slices crusty bread or baguette
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 pound fresh buffalo mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced, patted dry

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat broiler. Combine butter, anchovies, and milk in small saucepan over low heat. Cook until anchovies dissolve, mashing with back of spoon and stirring often, about 3 minutes (do not boil).
