Where to find ingredients
You can find standard ingredients like bread, ham, milk, eggs, and tomatoes at any local supermarket in Botswana, such as Choppies, Spar, or Pick n Pay. For fresh mozzarella and good-quality Parmesan, check the deli or specialty cheese section of larger chain supermarkets. If you cannot find fresh mozzarella slices, a block of local mozzarella is an excellent substitute if thinly sliced. Dried oregano and olives are easily accessible in the pantry or canned goods aisles.
Preparation method
- Grease a baking dish thoroughly with butter
- Line the bottom of the dish with half of the bread slices
- Layer the ham evenly over the bread base
- Arrange the sliced tomatoes on top of the ham
- Scatter the chopped olives over the tomato layer
- Place the slices of mozzarella over the filling
- Sprinkle with dried oregano to your liking
- Cover the filling with the remaining bread slices
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined
- Pour the egg and milk mixture evenly over the soufflé
- Let the dish rest for about 10 minutes so the bread absorbs the liquid
- Dot the top of the bread with small pieces of butter
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top for a golden finish
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C until the top is golden and perfectly gratinated
