Title: Mozarella in Carozza (Fried Cheese Sandwiches)
Categories: Italian3
Yield: 6 servings

12 White bread slices
6 sl Mozzarella cheese
1 c Milk; (approximately)
Flour; for dredging
2 Eggs; lightly beaten
1/2 c Olive oil
2 tb Butter
1 sm Garlic clove; crushed
1 2 oz. can anchovies; minced
1 tb Lemon juice; optional

Trim the crusts of the bread. Cut the cheese into pieces slightly smaller
than the bread. Place the cheese on 6 slices of the bread. There should be
a margin of no more than 1/8". Cover with the remaining 6 slices of bread
and dip the sandwiches into the milk, dredge them with flour and coat them
with beaten egg. Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat.

When the oil is quite hot, brown the sandwiches in it until golden brown
and crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon, drain on paper towels and transfer
to a heated platter. Add the butter to the pan and reduce the heat to
medium. Quickly swirl in the garlic, then the anchovies and stir with a
wooden spoon for 1 minute. Add the lemon juice, blend well and pour the
sauce over the fried sandwiches. Serve immediately.
