Chris and I made dinner together in our usual Sunday night tradition. I had the idea of making “Mozzarella en Carrozza”, which translates to “Mozzarella In A Carriage”, which is really just a glorified grilled cheese sandwich IMO. You basically soak two pieces of sandwich bread in milk, layer fresh mozzarella in between, dip it in egg, then throw it into a bath of breadcrumbs. And then fry it up. Mine lacked flavor but with a little salt and marinara sauce, it became quite tasty.
At the start of the fry. I used panko instead of regular bread crumbs.
Once it got golden and crisp and oh-so-pretty.
Sliced into four uneven triangles.
First you hold it up.
Then you take a few bites.
Then you eat it all with a smile.
Chris threw together a delicious chicken, lemon, herb and balsamic dish. He’s good like that. He started out cooking lemons in the All Clad.
Then he threw in some chicken.
Added some balsamic, olive oil and herbs and then the chicken started to look like this. Then off to the oven it went to roast and broil.
While the chicken was roasting, I started on a spinach feta quiche using frozen spinach and leftover feta cheese. I added egg, breadcrumbs, half and half and a pinch of pepper flakes along with the usual salt and pepper. The pie crust is some wheat kind that’s pretty darn finger lickin’ good.
The outcome.
The end.
The good news, however, is that we have three french presses, another coffee machine, three coffee grinders, and an awesome BREVILLE espresso machine as a backup. Yes, we love our coffee.
