Mozzarella in Carrozza / Italian grilled cheese (the bread is the "carriage" that holds the Mozzarella)

Ingredients:

Plain day old bread 🥖 (we used Italian pagnotta bread)

Toast can also be used for this recipe

Eggs 🥚

Flour

Pinch of salt 🧂

Pinch of black pepper

OPTIONAL: Bread crumbs (plain or Italian seasoned)

Vegetable oil for frying (or any oil that is recommended for deep frying)

Directions:

NOTE: When dipping the sandwich into any of the stations, make sure that it is covered

completely, including the sides. Making sure that the sides are covered, locks in the mozzarella and prevents it from oozing out during the frying process.

1) Cut off the crusts from around the slices of bread. Prepare your sliced cheese, Egg batter with some salt and pepper and bread crumbs.

2) Place slices of mozzarella in between 2 slices of bread and press firmly on both sides. Make sure that the mozzarella does not surpass the bread, if it does just give it a trim because it will burn and ruin the sandwich if you don't.

3) Dip the sandwich into the flour, ensuring that all the sandwich is covered with flour,

including the sides and shake off any excess flour.

4) Dip into the beaten eggs 🥚, (pinch of salt and pinch of black pepper has been added into the eggs) on both sides and all around the edges and place on a platter.

FOR THOSE VIEWERS THAT WANT TO ADD A LITTLE EXTRA CRUNCH, please

follow step # 5.

5) Lightly dip into the breadcrumbs and once again, ensure that the sandwich is

completely covered, including the edges.

6) Once you have prepared all your sandwiches, place the platter in the refrigerator

for 30 minutes. This will give time for the eggs to gently be absorbed into the slices of bread, making for a delicious sandwich 😋

7) Over a medium heat burner, place your skillet and add the vegetable oil, enough to

cover 1/2 of the sandwich.

8) Once the oil is heated, carefully place the sandwiches into the skillet(do not overcrowd) and frying gently but well browned on one side (approx. 2 minutes) then flip and fry the other side.
