Makes 4 servings

8 bread slices * 2 cups milk * 200 g kaşar cheese (or cheddar) * 2 eggs * 2 tsp thyme * 1 tsp red pepper * 1 1/2 cup crumbled bread * oil to fry

Put the milk in a deep bowl. Dip each bread slice in the milk, and place them in a large plate. Cut the cheese in slices and place two of them over four bread slices. Cover with the remaining ones. Mix the eggs with the red pepper and the thyme. Put the crumbled bread in a plate. Pass both sides of the bread on the crumbled bread and then in the eggs. Fry in very hot oil. Serve hot.

Lidia this sounds really good! Is this cheese like the greek kasseri or closer to sharp cheddar? I hope that you and yours are well, healthy and happy in the coming new year!
