Mozzarella in Carrozza

Course: Appetizer, Sandwich, Snack
Cuisine: Italian

Ingredients

  • White bread – 8 slices crust removed
  • Mozzarella – 250gm sliced fine (available in cheese stores or gourmet supermarkets)
  • Flour – 4 tbsp
  • Eggs – 4
  • Salt – to season
  • Black pepper – to season
  • Vegetable oil – to deep fry

Instructions

  • Take 4 slices of bread, lay flat and place the thin slices of mozzarella on top. Make sure that the cheese slices are trimmed to stay within the bread slices.
  • Cover with the remaining 4 slices of bread; so essentially 4 sandwiches with thin slices of cheese in between.
  • Dip the edges of the sandwich in flour and then use water to press the edges firmly gluing it together. Make sure that the edges are sealed well and tight.
  • Beat the eggs in a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
  • Place the sandwiches in a deep bowl and pour half the egg mixture on top making sure the surface is coated well. Keep aside for 10 minutes.
  • Turn the bread slices over carefully and pour the remaining egg mixture; let sit for another 10 minutes.
  • Heat enough oil for deep frying in a pan and fry the sandwiches, one at a time, till golden brown and crisp.
  • Place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
  • Garnish with chilli oil and dill leaves.
