Matzarella en Carrozza is a Passover take on one of my favorite Italian appetizers, Mozzarella en Carrozza. I simply replace the bread with matzah that I’ve pre-soaked in egg and add sliced mozzarella and Pesto on two pieces of matzah and mozzarella. Next step is to close the two halves of each sandwich and sauté them in olive oil. The result is an ooey gooey delicious appetizer/entrée/lunch that I call: Matzarella en Carrozza. This sandwich will please adults and children alike. It definitely takes matzah grilled cheese to another level!
Here’s a recipe for Pesto that can be used for Passover and all year round.
Prep time: 30 minutes
Note: You can use tomato sauce and some chopped fresh basil as a substitute for the pesto. It will have more of a pizza flavor — but there’s nothing wrong with that!
