Baked Mozzarella in Carrozza Recipe

Today we propose to you a very simple recipe that makes mozzarella the star of it: Mozzarella in Carrozza. Summer is here and with it comes the enjoyment of eating tasty yet simple and quick recepies.

A staple in the Italian summer is, of course, the amazing mozzarella. Eat it on its own, with vegetables or fried…You can never go wrong with it.

Mozzarella in carrozza seems to have been born at the beginning of the nineteenth century and, like many traditional Venetian dishes, it was a recovery solution. In Venice it is very popular in the bàcari but was devised in Naples as an alternative to using bread and leftover mozzarella.

To create this dish you’ll have to put together small delicious morsels, wrapped in a golden wrapping like potato croquettes and Ascolana olives and it’s immediately an aperitif!

But who said that to be appetizing these goodness must necessarily be dipped in boiling oil? We have thought about it and we want to challenge you, with our lighter variant of a timeless classic: baked mozzarella in carrozza. With its tasty soft filling enclosed in a casket of bread, it is an irresistible variant of its homonymous fried version!

The only difference: the cooking in the oven which makes it equally crunchy on the outside and with a pleasantly stringy heart inside. Heat the ovens and sharpen the knives, preparing this recipe will be child’s play!
