Author Notes: This recipe is from Acapulco, Mexico where, many years ago, my husband and I were guests at a beautiful villa overlooking the Pacific ocean. It was the kind of place that came with a pool, a cook, and a bartender/driver. We left the villa maybe 3 or 4 times. It was Heaven. Before we had to return to the real world, we scribbled down this recipe from our cook, Gabby. We've made it many times since. Note: For optimal results, use the best ingredients. Buy the best bread you can find. Use the best ricotta and the best preserves or jelly. It makes a huge difference! - Waverly - Waverly
Food52 Review: For kids, dunking these finger sandwiches in maple syrup will make Saturday breakfast even more fun than it already is. Grown-ups might opt to skip that step, to get at the delicious ricotta and jam layer that much faster. This soft, jammy interior contrasts beautifully with the supple, eggy crust. A tip: for perfectly aligned edges, don't slice away the crusts till after you've assembled the ricotta and jam sandwiches. - Kristen - A&M
Serves 4
- 2 eggs
- 3 tablespoons whole milk
- 8 slices good bakery bread, crusts removed (sourdough is especially nice)
- 4 tablespoons (use more or less to taste) Ricotta cheese (cream cheese may be substituted)
- 4 tablespoons (use more or less to taste) strawberry or blueberry preserves (use Bonne Maman, 100% fruit, or your favorite)
- 2 -3 tablespoons butter
- powdered sugar
- cinnamon
- maple syrup
- PREP: In a small bowl, combine egg and milk and beat with a fork until frothy. Spread each slice of bread with ricotta cheese and then jelly. Put two slices of bread together to make a sandwich. Slice sandwiches lengthwise into three strips.
- FRY: In a large skillet, melt the butter. One at a time, dip the finger sandwiches into the batter to coat completely. When butter is bubbling, fry finger sandwiches until golden and crispy, about 2 minutes on each side.
- SERVE: Dust sandwiches with powdered sugar and cinnamon. Serve with maple syrup for dipping.
