This dish is often enjoyed as a snack, appetizer, or light meal, and it’s a popular street food throughout Italy. Its simplicity and incredible flavor have made it a favorite among locals and visitors alike.
For the best Mozzarella in Carrozza, use high-quality, fresh mozzarella, as it’s the star of the dish. Pairing it with a good quality bread, such as a crusty Italian loaf, will ensure the perfect texture balance. When fried, the bread becomes perfectly crispy while the mozzarella inside melts into a rich, flavorful filling.
