Mozzarella in a , known as in carrozza in Italian, is a traditional appetizer in Southern Italy, especially in the regions of Campania and Puglia. It’s a simple and tasty fried dish made with fresh mozzarella cheese, bread slices, and eggs. If you want to impress your guests or challenge your cooking skills, you can try making mozzarella in a carriage at home and enjoy a little piece of Italian goodness.

Here’s how to make mozzarella in a carriage in 5 easy steps:

Step 1: Get the ingredients

You will need:

– 4 fresh mozzarella balls (125 grams each)

– 8 slices of white bread (preferably without the crust)

– 2 large eggs

– 1/4 cup of milk

– 1 cup of all-purpose flour

– Salt and pepper, to taste

– Olive oil, for frying

Step 2: Slice the mozzarella

Cut the mozzarella balls into thick slices, about 1/2 inch each. If the mozzarella is too soft or watery, put it in the fridge for a few hours before cutting it to make it firmer.

Step 3: Prepare the bread

Place a mozzarella slice on a slice of bread and cover it with another slice of bread. Press the edges of the bread well to seal the mozzarella inside. Repeat the process with the remaining bread and mozzarella slices.

Step 4: Dip and coat

In a shallow dish, beat the eggs with the milk and season with salt and pepper. In another shallow dish, put the flour. Dip the bread and mozzarella sandwiches in the egg mixture, making sure they are well coated on both sides. Then coat them with flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 5: Fry the mozzarella in a carriage

Pour enough olive oil in a large frying pan to cover the sandwiches. Heat the oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Place the mozzarella sandwiches in the pan and fry them for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the mozzarella in a carriage to a plate lined with paper towels to drain the excess oil. Serve hot and enjoy!

Tips and variations:

– You can add some chopped herbs, such as parsley or basil, to the egg mixture to give more flavor to the dish.

– You can use different types of bread, such as brioche or whole wheat, but make sure it’s fresh and soft.

– If you don’t like frying, you can bake the mozzarella in a carriage in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

– You can serve the mozzarella in a carriage with some tomato sauce or marinara sauce on the side for dipping.

Mozzarella in a carriage is a classic Italian snack that combines the creaminess of mozzarella cheese and the crispiness of bread and egg coating. Making it at home is not difficult, but it requires some attention to detail and technique to avoid the cheese from melting and coming out of the bread. Once you master the skills, you can experiment with different fillings and variations, such as adding ham, anchovies, or sun-dried tomatoes. Mozzarella in a carriage is a great appetizer or snack to share with friends and family, or to indulge yourself with a little taste of Italy.
