Mozzarella in Carrozza Recipe: This Fried Mozzarella Sandwich Recipe Is an Italian Favorite by 30Seconds Food
Mozzarella in Carrozza (mozzarella in a carriage) is basically an Italian grilled cheese sandwich – or the closest you'll get to one. And it's incredibly delicious. Melted mozzarella cheese oozes from crispy bread that's fried in a breadcrumb crust.
This is a favorite in Italy, and we can understand why. Serve this crunchy, cheesy sandwich for lunch or for dinner with a caprese salad, spring mix salad, garden salad or Caesar salad.
