Mozzarella in carozza
It means mozzarella 'in a carriage': fried slices of bread stuffed with melted mozzarella. A delicious snack or starter. Serve hot and oozing.

- 2 tbsp flour well seasoned
- 2 eggs beaten with a splash of milk and seasoned
- for frying olive oil
Instructions
- 1
Use a cutter or large mug to cut circles (about 10cm) from the bread. Divide the cheese between 4 of the circles, adding a basil leaf on either side of the cheese. Season, then put the rest of the bread circles on top, pressing the edges together.

Put the flour on a plate. Dust the sandwiches in the flour to coat lightly, then dip them in the egg to completely coat. Heat a large non-stick frying pan with 2 tbsp olive oil. Fry the sandwiches for about 3 minutes each side until crisp and golden. Sprinkle with sea salt flakes.
