Carefully dredge each patty in flour, them dip in the egg, and finally roll in the bread crumbs, gently pressing so the crumbs adhere. Dip each patty once more in the egg and coat again with crumbs. Place patties on a lightly oiled baking sheet and chill till 20 min before serving.

- Arrange the spinach leaves and scallions in a large bowl and toss with the dressing. Divide the spinach between the plates and top each with a warm cheese patty. Grind fresh black pepper over each and serve immediately with a basket of warm French bread.
