How to Make Classic Mozzarella In Carozza
- Place 8 slices of bread on a work surface.
- Layer 4 slices of fresh mozzarella cheese (approximately 4 ounces total) evenly onto 4 slices of bread.
- Top with the remaining 4 slices of bread to create 4 sandwiches.
- Trim the crusts from each sandwich to create 4-inch squares.
- In a wide shallow bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs.
- Stir in 1/4 cup heavy cream (or 1/2 cup 1% milk), 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg. Whisk until fully combined.
- In a 10-12 inch nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and shimmering.
- Dip 2 sandwiches into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated. Gently place them in the hot skillet.
- Cook for approximately 2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.
- Transfer the cooked sandwiches to a plate. Repeat steps 7-9 with the remaining 2 sandwiches, adding another 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet.
- Cut each sandwich in half and serve immediately. Enjoy the delightful crunch and cheesy goodness!
