Fried Mozzarella in 'Carrozza' Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mozzarella

    Cut the fresh mozzarella cheese into thick slices (about 1 cm).

  2. 2

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Place a slice of mozzarella between two slices of bread to form a sandwich. Repeat for the remaining cheese and bread.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Breading Station

    In one bowl, beat the eggs. In another bowl, place the flour, and in a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs mixed with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Bread the Sandwiches

    Dip each sandwich first in flour, then in the beaten eggs, and finally in the breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating.

  5. 5

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat until hot (about 180°C or 350°F).

  6. 6

    Fry the Sandwiches

    Carefully place the breaded sandwiches in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  7. 7

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fried sandwiches from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil if desired.
