When I was a kid, one of my aunties in Italy used to make a savoury version, with sliced mozzarella sandwiched between two slices of bread, dipped in egg and milk, then breaded and fried. I absolutely loved it, not least because of the name! She called it "mozzarella in carrozza" - mozzarella in a carriage 😊

@winfieldjohnson125 For all I know, it was a regional or even a family name given to that dish! Besides, I've lived out of Italy most of my life, so if you go there and ask for a "mozzarella in carrozza" and no one understands, I apologise in advance 🤣

@toBe8ere I made it - cashews and soya yogurt base, tapioca starch for stretchiness and agar agar to hold it together, turns out surprisingly like fresh mozzarella (I have fed it to omnivorous Italians, who did not complain), melts better in than on things, so it's perfect for this sort of thing. Any vegan cheese you can find will work, as long as it melts. Thanks for asking ☺

Fresh, I think (I was very young at the time). I imagine anything that melts will do. One of the happiests moments of my adult life was when I was able to veganise this dish, it's lovely 🤤

@verenamaharajah6082 If you make it, let me know how it turns out! And thanks for taking me back to this thread, which I had completely forgotten about - the aunt who used to make this passed away earlier this year, and this is a nice memory ☺
