Mozzarelle in Carrozza: Method
- Cut the slices of sandwich bread diagonally to create triangles. On half of the triangles, place a generous spoonful of Mutti Tomato and Basil Pasta Sauce, spreading it gently in the center while avoiding the edges. Add a small amount of coarsely chopped pitted olives on top of the sauce, distributing them evenly.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella on top of the sauce, again staying away from the edges to prevent overflow during frying.
- Top with another triangle of bread. Using your hands, gently press the edges together to seal and compact the sandwich.
- Dredge each filled triangle in flour, then dip in beaten eggs (do not add salt to the eggs), and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Make sure to bread the edges thoroughly to prevent leaks during frying.
- Heat the peanut oil to 340°F (170°C). You can test it by inserting a wooden toothpick—if bubbles form around it, the oil is ready. Fry the mozzarella in carrozza for about 2 minutes on each side, until golden and crisp.
- Sprinkle with a pinch of salt flakes. Your perfectly melted, crispy Mutti-style Mozzarella in Carrozza is ready to enjoy!
