Mozzarella in Carrozza
Recipe courtesy Nigella Lawson
Show:  Nigella Bites
Episode:  TV Dinners
Mozzarella in Carrozza
6 slices white bread, crusts removed
1 fist-sized ball mozzarella, cut into approximately 1/4-inch slices, then strips
1/2 cup whole milk
3 heaping tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 egg
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup olive oil (not extra-virgin), for frying

Make sandwiches out of the bread and mozzarella, leaving a little margin around the edges unfilled with cheese, and press the edges together with your fingers to help seal. (One of the advantages of soft white bread is that it easily smushed together.) Pour the milk in to 1 soup bowl, the flour into another, and beat the egg with salt and pepper in another. Warm the oil in the frying pan over medium heat. Dunk the sandwiches briefly, 1 by 1, in the milk, then dredge in the flour, then dip in the beaten egg. Fry in hot oil on each side until crisp and golden and remove to a paper towel. Cut in half and apply to face.
