Mozzarella in Carrozza

Ingredients

• 8 slices white bread
• 8 oz mozzarella cheese
• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• ¼ cup olive oil
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley
• ½ tsp salt

Instructions

1. 1

   Cut the mozzarella into 1/4-inch thick slices. Place 4 bread slices on a work surface and divide the mozzarella evenly among them, leaving a small border. Top with the remaining bread slices and press gently.

2. 2

   In a shallow dish, whisk the 2 eggs with the 0.5 tsp salt. Place the 0.5 cup flour in another shallow dish and the 1 cup breadcrumbs in a third.

3. 3

   Dredge each sandwich in the flour, shaking off excess. Dip into the egg mixture, then coat with breadcrumbs, pressing to adhere. Set aside on a plate.

4. 4

   Heat the 0.25 cup olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil shimmers, add the sandwiches in a single batch (work in batches if needed) and cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

5. 5

   Transfer the sandwiches to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Sprinkle with the 2 tbsp chopped parsley and serve hot, with extra grated cheese if desired.

6. 6

   For extra flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder or dried oregano to the breadcrumbs before coating.
