A carrozza, also referred to as mozzarella in carrozza (lit. 'mozzarella in a carriage'),[1][2] is a type of fried cheese sandwich or pastry in Italian cuisine. It is prepared by coating a mozzarella cheese sandwich in egg and flour, and frying it. It is a popular dish in the Campania region of Italy and in areas of New York City. Mozzarella fritta is a variation of the dish that consists of battered cheese, without any bread.
Preparation[edit]
The carrozza is prepared with mozzarella cheese, an egg wash and bread slices.[3][4] It can be prepared with various breads, such as Italian bread and sandwich loaf, among others.[3][5] The bread crust is sometimes removed before it is fried,[3][6] and the bread can be slightly toasted before the sandwich is fried.[7] Preparation involves assembling the sandwich, dredging it in egg wash, dipping it in flour, then pan or deep frying it.[3] Bread crumbs are sometimes used to coat the sandwich.[2][8] Olive oil is typically used for frying the carrozza.[3] Additional ingredients are sometimes used, such as ham, anchovies, eggplant, green tomatoes and basil.[9][1] After being cooked, it has a crisp or crunchy texture.[10] It can be served as an antipasto dish.[6]
By region[edit]
The carrozza is a street food and popular dish in Campania,[1][11] a region in southern Italy. Buffalo mozzarella, which is prepared using the milk from the Italian Mediterranean Buffalo, is typically used in Campania to prepare the sandwich.[12]
It is also a popular dish in Italian-American restaurants in the Brooklyn, Manhattan, Staten Island, Queens, and the Bronx Boroughs of New York City, where it is sometimes cooked by deep frying.[8]
Variations[edit]
A variation of the carrozza is mozzarella fritta (lit. 'fried mozzarella'), which is simply the battered and fried cheese without the bread.[3]
