The Milanese with mozzarella is a vegetarian variation of the classic milanesa, originally from Argentina. This dish consists of a mozzarella cheese sandwich filled with raw ham, basil, and filetto sauce, which is breaded and fried until achieving a crunchy texture on the outside and a melting interior. It is ideal for those looking for a meat-free option but with the flavor and heartiness of a good milanesa. Its origin dates back to Italian influence in Argentine cuisine, where mozzarella is a star ingredient. This recipe is perfect for a family meal or a special dinner, and can be served with mashed potatoes, salad, or french fries. There are variations that replace raw ham with grilled vegetables, or that are baked instead of fried for a lighter version. The key is double breading so the cheese does not leak during cooking. If you like Italian cuisine, this stuffed milanesa is an excellent option to surprise your guests.
