Mozzarella in Carrozza - Italian Recipe

Mozzarella in Carrozza

🌍 Italian, Naples/Campania Difficulty: ●●●○○

A Neapolitan fried sandwich where the mozzarella must be fresh enough to pull into strings when bitten. Drain the mozzarella thoroughly or the bread will turn sodden in the egg wash. Fry in oil hot enough to seal the crust in seconds.

Ingredients

• 8 slices white sandwich bread
• 250g mozzarella, sliced
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 100ml milk
• Breadcrumbs for coating
• Olive oil for frying

Method

1. Making — Make sandwiches with mozzarella inside, edges pressed to seal.
2. Dipping — Dip in egg mixed with milk; coat in breadcrumbs.
3. Frying — Fry in hot oil 2 min each side until golden.
