Mozzarella in Carrozza with Anchovy Sauce
- 1 stick unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 4 flat anchovy fillets, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons drained capers, coarsely chopped
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 1 (1-pound) Italian loaf such as pane di casa (5 inches wide)
- 1 (1-pound) ball salted fresh mozzarella, cut into 6 (1/4-inch-thick) slices
- 1 cup plus 3 tablespoon whole milk, divided
- 1 cup fine dry bread crumbs
- 4 large eggs
- About 3 cups olive or vegetable oil
- Melt butter in a small heavy saucepan over low heat.
- Discard any foam from top, then remove from heat.
- Stir in anchovies, capers, and lemon juice.
- Keep warm, covered.
- Stir in parsley just before serving.
- Cut bread from middle of loaf into 12 (1/4-inch-thick) slices.
- Sandwich each slice of mozzarella between 2 slices bread, then cut off crusts, forming 4-inch squares (mozzarella slices should be smaller than bread slices).
- Put 1 cup milk in a shallow dish and spread bread crumbs on a plate.
- Dip both sides of each sandwich in milk, pressing edges lightly to seal sandwich.
- Coat with bread crumbs, making sure edges are coated well.
- Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill 2 hours.
- Whisk eggs in a large shallow bowl, then whisk in 3/4 teaspoon salt and remaining 3 tablespoons milk.
- Heat 1/2 inch oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat until it shimmers.
- Dip sandwiches, 1 at a time, in egg mixture, letting excess drip off, and fry, 3 at a time, turning once with a slotted spatula, until golden, about 6 minutes per batch.
- Drain on paper towels.
- Halve diagonally and serve hot with anchovy sauce.
