Ingredients:

4 skewers wooden skewers at least 8 inch long

1 small Italian bread loaf -- cut twelve 2 inch cubes

1 pound fresh mozzarella cheese -- cut eight 2 inch cubes

4 tablespoons anchovy paste or chopped anchovy filets

4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 cloves garlic -- thinly sliced

1 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper -- to taste

2 tablespoons virgin olive oil

Preparation / Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. On each skewer, slide 3 cubes of bread and 2 cubes of mozzarella, starting with the bread and alternating with the cheese. Set aside. In a small saucepan mash the anchovy paste, extra-virgin olive oil, butter and garlic over low heat until you have a smooth warm paste. Season with freshly-ground black pepper. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the paste mixture over each spiedino (skewer). Place the skewers on an oiled cookie sheet in the center of your oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the bread is toasted and the cheese is sagging but not melted. Serve immediately.
