Hi everyone, I'm Deborah and welcome to the GialloZafferano kitchen. Today we'll be learning how to prepare Mozzarella in Carrozza, a traditional Neapolitan appetiser. Let's see what we'll need:
• Flour as needed for coating the bread
• Frying oil
• ½ cup of milk
• 14 oz of buffalo mozzarella cut into slices • 3 eggs
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 16 slices of bread, preferably not white bread.
Let's see how to make it!
First of all, cut the crusts from the bread. Now, take two slices of bread and lay the mozzarella onto one slice being sure not to let it hang outside of the edges. Cover it with the second slice and cut the sandwich into triangles or rectangles according to you preference. Once you've done this, continue until you've gone through all of the bread and mozzarella.
Next, take the assembled sandwiches and coat them with the flour. Pay special attention to cover all of the edges.
In a bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Now, take a sandwich and completely coat it in the egg. After this, transfer the sandwich to a frying pan and fry both sides until golden
Here are our hot, stringy Mozzarella in Carrozza -- irresistible! I have to taste them. Buon appetito from GialloZafferano and see you next time!

When served with an anchovy/garlic/oil sauce, we call this Spiedini alla Romana here in America. Do you have such a dish in Italy? A recipe here: lidiasitaly"dot"com/recipes/de­tail/689

@stooge81 It's not a traditional dish, I would say it's a variation of mozzarella in carrozza!

[MetallicSisters]

can i use grated mozzarella?

[yellowsaffron]

@MetallicSisters It's better to use a whole slice of mozzarella, or it won't stay together

I dunno if the elderly in my family can eat these fried so you think it will still be a great improvise if I toasted it?

[yellowsaffron]

@dalilpebble You can bake it in an oiled baking pan in preheated oven until golden brown!

@matthew5276 But you can't stuff the sandwich with oil!
