Mozarella In Carozza (Fried Cheese Sandwiches)

Recipe Ingredients

12		White bread slices
6		Mozzarella cheese
1 cup	237ml	Milk - (approximately)
		Flour - for dredging
2		Eggs - lightly beaten
1/2 cup	118ml	Olive oil
2 tablespoons	30ml	Butter
1 tablespoon	15ml	Garlic clove - crushed (small)
1		Anchovies - minced
1 tablespoon	15ml	Lemon juice - optional

Recipe Instructions

Trim the crusts of the bread. Cut the cheese into pieces slightly smaller than the bread. Place the cheese on 6 slices of the bread. There should be a margin of no more than 1/8". Cover with the remaining 6 slices of bread and dip the sandwiches into the milk, dredge them with flour and coat them with beaten egg. Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat.

When the oil is quite hot, brown the sandwiches in it until golden brown and crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon, drain on paper towels and transfer to a heated platter. Add the butter to the pan and reduce the heat to medium. Quickly swirl in the garlic, then the anchovies and stir with a wooden spoon for 1 minute. Add the lemon juice, blend well and pour the sauce over the fried sandwiches. Serve immediately.

Serves 6.
