Mozzarella in Carrozza

This is a fun first course when served with a tomato salad, but it can also stand as a quick light meal on its own when there’s nothing else available but a piece of bread, some mozzarella and a few eggs. There are countless variations on this recipe, some including a bit of anchovy along with the mozzarella, but this simple version is the best. In Naples it’s common to use sandwich bread for this, but a good quality mild sourdough bread provides more flavour.
