Mozzarella in carozza

It means mozzarella ‘in a carriage’: fried slices of bread stuffed with melted mozzarella. A delicious snack or starter. Serve hot and oozing.

Ingredients

serves 2

  • white bread 8 slices

  • mozzarella   (or vegetarian alternative) 1 ball, sliced into 4

  • basil 8 large leaves

  • flour 2 tbsp, well seasoned

  • eggs 2, beaten with a splash of milk and seasoned

  • olive oil for frying

Method

  • Step 1

    Use a cutter or large mug to cut circles (about 10cm) from the bread.

    Divide the cheese between 4 of the circles, adding a basil leaf on either side of the cheese. Season, then put the rest of the bread circles on top, pressing the edges together.

  • Step 2

    Put the flour on a plate. Dust the sandwiches in the flour to coat lightly, then dip them in the egg to completely coat. Heat a large non-stick frying pan with 2 tbsp olive oil.

    Fry the sandwiches for about 3 minutes each side until crisp and golden. Sprinkle with sea salt flakes.
