Mozzarella in Carozza

DEEP-FRIED CHEESE SANDWICHES

To serve 4 to 6

Vegetable oil or shortening for deep frying
A 1-pound loaf sliced French or Italian bread
1 pound mozzarella cheese
4 eggs

3 tablespoons milk
1 cup milk
1 cup fine dry bread crumbs

MOZZARELLA IN CAROZZA: Heat 3 to 4 inches of oil or shortening to 375° in a deep-fat fryer or large heavy saucepan. Using a cookie cutter, a small glass, cut the slices of French or Italian bread into 3-inch rounds. Then slice the mozzarella cheese 1/4 inch thick; the slices should .be a little smaller than the circles of bread. Make sandwiches of the bread and cheese.

In a small mixing bowl beat together the 4 eggs and 3 tablespoons of milk. Pour a cup of milk into another bowl and spread the bread crumbs on a sheet of wax paper. Dip each sandwich in the milk briefly, press the edges of the bread together to seal them, then coat both sides of the sandwiches thoroughly with bread crumbs. To seal the edges even more securely, roll the sandwiches slowly through the bread crumb, like cartwheels. Dip the sandwiches, one at a time, in the egg mixture, and then fry them in the hot oil until they are golden brown on each side. Drain on paper towels and serve while still hot.

If you are using the optional hot anchovy sauce, you must prepare it first. There will not be time to make it after the sandwiches are finished. Serve it spooned over the hot sandwiches.
