Preparation

  1. STEP 1 OF 7

    Drain the Costanzo mozzarella well and pat it dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Cut the mozzarella into slices about 1 cm thick.

  2. STEP 2 OF 7

    Place 4 slices of bread on a flat surface. Lay the mozzarella slices on 4 of these bread slices and cover with the remaining 4 slices of bread, thus creating 4 sandwiches.

  3. STEP 3 OF 7

    Prepare three plates: one with flour, one with beaten eggs (mixed with 2 tablespoons of milk), and one with breadcrumbs. Dip each sandwich first in the flour, ensuring it is well covered.

  4. STEP 4 OF 7

    Then dip in the egg mixture, allowing it to absorb evenly. Finally, coat with breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to adhere well.

  5. STEP 5 OF 7

    Heat plenty of vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot (about 170°C), fry the sandwiches, a few at a time, until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  6. STEP 6 OF 7

    Drain the sandwiches on paper towels to remove excess oil.

  7. STEP 7 OF 7

    Serve the mozzarella in carrozza hot, garnished with fresh parsley sprigs if desired.
