Fried Cheese Recipe

Fried cheese recipe, not only famous chef recipes are good and known, this fried mozzarella recipe is a traditional snack from Roma region and is easy to prepare and pleases all.

This recipe is called, in Rome area, mozzarella in carrozza (that means mozzarella in coach…don’t ask me why!), and it’s considered typical from that area.

In Rome area there is another well known especialty called supplì. These are kind of rice balls stuffed with mozzarella cheese, then covered with bread crumbs and fried in boiling oil.

You’ll need (4 people):

• 8 slices of stale bread

• a big firm mozzarella

• wheat flour

• 2 eggs

• some tablespoons of milk

• salt

• abundant oil to fry (use olive oil)

How to prepare:

Put a slice of mozzarella between two slices of bread of the same size and shape. Pass these sandwiches on the flour, press to keep them compact and then merge the sandwiches into the whipped-up eggs with salt and a little bit of milk. Turn them often to absorb all the liquid, also from the sides.

Fry them in boiling oil (not smoking oil), 2 or 3 pieces per time, making them colour in both sides. Strain them and serve immediately.

If you like it, you can add an anchovy fillet on each slice of mozzarella.

Tip: Do not use mozzarella di buffala (buffalo mozzarella) as it waters too much.
