Where to find ingredients
For the bread, any standard sliced sandwich bread available at major supermarkets works perfectly. Ham and mozzarella can be found in the deli section or pre-packaged dairy aisles. Olives and oregano are staples in the pantry aisle, while parmesan can be sourced from the cheese section. If you can't find specific Brazilian-style mozzarella, a firm, mild mozzarella or white cheddar are acceptable substitutes to maintain the creamy, cheesy texture of this dish.
Preparation method
- Grease a baking dish with butter
- Line the bottom of the dish with half of the bread slices
- Cover the bread with a layer of ham
- Distribute the sliced tomatoes over the ham
- Scatter the chopped olives over the top
- Add the sliced mozzarella cheese
- Sprinkle dried oregano over the filling to taste
- Cover with the remaining slices of bread
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk, salt, and black pepper
- Pour the milk and egg mixture evenly over the soufflé
- Let the dish rest for 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
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C until golden and beautifully gratinated
