Mozzerella en carrozza, also known as mozzarella in a carriage, is a traditional Italian dish that originated in Naples. It is a popular street food and is often served as an appetizer in Italian restaurants. The dish is made by sandwiching mozzarella cheese between two slices of bread, dipping it in egg, and frying it until golden and crispy. It is believed that this dish was created as a way to use up leftover bread and cheese.
