Mozzarella in Carrozza Recipe
Fast, easy and oh so delicious, a Mozzarella in Carrozza sandwich is a nice quick meal to cook. Especially with the addition of Pesto to the mix. Just follow these easy directions and enjoy!
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh basil, packed
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon dried pine nuts
- 1 clove garlic, sliced into chunks
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 4 slices italian bread, each no more than 1-inch thick
- 4 slices mozzarella cheese, sliced thin
Directions
- Make the pesto by blending the basil, Parmesan, pine nuts, garlic, pepper, and 1/4 cup olive oil in a mini food processor (or do it by hand with a mortar and pestle, if you're old-school) until creamy. Add kosher salt to taste.
- Line two of the bread slices with mozzarella and spread pesto on the other two bread slices, then put them together to make two sandwiches.
- Whisk the egg and milk together in a shallow bowl that's wide enough to fit the whole sandwich in. Reserve.
- Heat the butter and remaining tablespoon olive oil in a large cast iron or nonstick skillet over medium-low heat until the butter is melted and foaming.
- Dip both outer sides of a sandwich in the egg-milk mixture, then place in the pan. Repeat with the remaining sandwich.
- Cook, flipping once or twice, until the mozzarella melts and the bread is golden and toasty. Serve immediately.
