Fried Mozzarella Sandwich (Mozzarella in Carrozza)

From the streets of Naples, these golden, crispy parcels are the ultimate Italian comfort food. Thick slices of bread encase molten, milky mozzarella, double-breaded to ensure a crunchy exterior that gives way to a soft, stretchy centre. Originally conceived as a clever way to use up day-old bread and leftover cheese in the Campania region, it has evolved into a beloved snack found in friggitorie across the country.
