Mozzarella in Carrozza is just a fried mozzarella sandwich, an Italian snack that's as simple as it's delicious: fried slices of bread with a stringy mozzarella filling. The ingredients and the preparation are very simple.A few slices of mozzarella cheese between two slices of white bread, cut into triangles, breaded and fried. What a treat! The secret to keeping the mozzarella from leaking during frying? Make a double breading that seals the bread slices well. The result? Crispy and sensational!

Instructions
- Remove the mozzarella from its liquid. Put them in a sieve and let them drain for a few minutes.
- Then cut the mozzarellas into slices about 1 cm (½ inch) thick. Pat some kitchen paper to absorb the liquid. It's very important that the mozzarella does not release much water during cooking.
- The white bread should not have a crust.
- Place the mozzarella slices on the bread slices. Overlap another slice of bread and press well with our hands.
- Cut the mozzarella sandwich in half. I chose to cut two triangles from each sandwich, which is the most common shape. But you can also cut the bread into other shapes (four squares, rectangles, or smaller triangles).
- Beat the eggs in a bowl with a little salt.
- Dip the mozzarella sandwiches in the flour. Press the edges of the bread well, trying to seal the two slices together.
- Then dip the floured slices in the beaten egg. Finally, dip them in the breadcrumbs. Press the edges together with each step.
- If you are not in a hurry, leave the slices in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. This will make them more compact.
- Continue with the second breading. This time only in the egg and breadcrumbs. PLEASE NOTE: The secret to keeping the mozzarella from leaking during cooking is to do a double breading. However, to keep it from being too heavy, if you can only do the double breading on the three outer edges. This will seal the sandwich well and prevent it from being too thick.
- Pour the frying oil into a high-sided frying pan. Bring the oil to 170°C (338°F). If you don't have a thermometer, put a piece of bread in the oil and when you see the first bubbles, it's ready for frying.
- Dip the mozzarella sandwiches in the oil and fry until golden brown and crisp. This will only take a few minutes. Remove the Mozzarella in Carrozza from the oil with a slotted spoon.
- Drain on kitchen paper to remove excess oil. Add a pinch of salt and serve immediately. The stringy heart and crispy crust are truly delicious. Nobody can resist this goodness!
Notes
- PLEASE NOTE: The number of mozzarella sandwiches depends on the size of the sandwiches you want to make. We have divided the slices of white bread in two. But if you want to make bites, for example as an appetizer, you can divide the triangle into two smaller pieces.
