Method

  1. Prepare the anchovy butter sauce: in a small saucepan, melt a knob of butter, add the anchovies and dissolve while stirring. Add the cream and let it reduce over medium heat. Add a grating of lemon and pepper to taste.
  2. Prepare the cheese mix: grate the Parmesan, Pecorino, and scamorza. Mix with a little black pepper.
  3. Prepare the bread: cut two slices of brioche bread (or country bread) and butter both sides.
  4. Assemble the sandwich: on one slice of bread, distribute the cheese mix, add the zucchini flowers, cover with the other slice.
  5. Cook the sandwich: in a pan with a little butter and oil, cook the sandwich over medium heat until the cheese melts and the bread is golden and crispy on both sides.
  6. Prepare the tomato salad: slice the Merinda tomatoes and the cluster tomato. Season with salt, pepper, fresh zucchini flowers, basil, and olive oil.
  7. Serve: cut the sandwich in half, pour some anchovy sauce on the plate, place the sandwich, accompany with the tomato salad, and garnish with fresh basil.
