These bite-sized cheese sandwiches are based on the southern Italian specialty, mozzarella in carrozza. Ingredients:
1 package (8 ounces) mozzarella cheese |
12 slices soft italian sandwich bread, crusts removed |
3 eggs |
3 tablespoons milk |
1 cup italian-seasoned bread crumbs |
1/3 cup vegetable oil |
1/3 cup olive oil |
Directions:
1. Cut mozzarella into 12 chunks. Place each chunk on one half of a bread slice; fold other half over top. Press edges together to seal.
2. In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs and milk. Spread bread crumbs on a sheet of waxed paper. Dip sandwiches in egg mixture, allowing excess egg mixture to drip back into dish. Dredge sandwiches in the bread crumbs, turning to coat evenly and thoroughly.
3. In a large heavy skillet, heat vegetable and olive oils over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the sandwiches to skillet in batches. Fry, turning once, until bread is deep golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Drain sandwiches on paper towels. Serve immediately.
