Mozzarella en Carozza Recipe

November 20, 2015

As an Italian American kid, mozzarella en carozza is something I grew up eating. The translation is “mozzarella in a carriage.” It’s basically an Italian spin on a grilled cheese sandwich, and boy is it delicious and so simple to make, perfect for an after school snack or light lunch. This is the classic version, but to jazz it up you can add in some chopped basil or prosciutto to your sandwich before frying. To say this grilled cheese sandwich kid-friendly is a complete understatement; my kids ask for this constantly.
