--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   4                    wooden skewers at least 8" long
   1      small         Italian bread loaf -- cut twelve 2" cubes
   1      pound         fresh mozzarella cheese -- cut eight 2" cubes
   4      tablespoons   anchovy paste or chopped anchovy filets
   4      tablespoons   extra-virgin olive oil
   2      tablespoons   unsalted butter
   2                    garlic cloves -- thinly sliced
                        freshly-ground black pepper -- to taste
   2      tablespoons   virgin olive oil

Preparation:

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.
