Mozzarella in carrozza

• servings: 6 sandwiches
• total time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

12 slices of white bread, crusts removed

2 buffalo mozzarella

6 slices of Parma ham

basil leaves

2 egg

milk, a splash

oil, for frying

Directions

1. To begin, crisp up the Parma ham in a dry frying pan, then set aside

2. Make sandwiches by layering the mozzarella, ham and basil on one piece of bread, making sure to leave a gap around the edge for sealing

3. Beat the egg lightly with the milk and some salt and pepper in a shallow bowl. Use a little of the mixture to moisten the edges of the sandwich, then add the other piece of bread on top, sealing firmly. Repeat for the other 2 sandwiches

4. Once you’ve made the sandwiches, heat a frying pan over a medium heat and add a splash of oil

5. Fry each sandwich until crisp and gold, flipping so both sides are the same. Cut into pieces and serve at once
