Italy's Mozzarella In Carrozza Is A Cheese Stick For Grown Ups

Cheese and bread can be made into a huge range of forms. One example is Italy's mozzarella in carrozza sandwich, a Naples classic that’s like a cheese stick for grown-ups.
This dish craftily fills two pieces of white bread with mozzarella before soaking the entire sandwich in eggs, throwing on bread crumbs, and frying to completion.
When pulled apart, strands of melted mozzarella create strings of mouth-watering magic. The dish is served with a side of marinara or pesto, making it perfect for dipping.
The sandwich is best made with prepackaged, drained mozzarella and a slightly stale, white Italian loaf. Chefs may also stuff it with anchovies, prosciutto, or spicy nduja sausage.
