Mozzarella In A Carriage - {Mozzarella In Carozza}

Recipe Ingredients

2 lbs	908g / 32oz	Fresh buffalo mozzarella - sliced into
		Four (3" by 4") slices
8		American-style sandwich bread - crusts removed
4		Eggs
1 cup	237ml	Milk
1 teaspoon	5ml	Chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon	5ml	Salt
4 tablespoons	60ml	Extra-virgin olive oil - divided
4 tablespoons	60ml	Sweet butter - divided

Recipe Instructions

Divide the 4 pieces of mozzarella on 4 slices of bread. Cover with the 4 remaining slices of bread to form sandwiches. Cut the bread away to leave a 1/4-inch border around the perimeter of the cheese and set aside.

In a wide, shallow bowl, whisk the eggs and add the milk, thyme leaves and salt and mix until well blended. Dip the sandwiches into the egg mixture one by one to coat, and set aside.

In a 12- to 14-inch non-stick saute pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil until smoking. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and cook until the sizzling subsides.

Place 2 sandwiches in the pan and cook until golden brown on the first side. Flip each sandwich and cook on the other side. Remove sandwiches and set aside.

Repeat the process with the remaining oil, butter and sandwiches. Serve immediately.

This recipe yields 4 sandwiches.
