Where to find ingredients
You can find all these staples at any local supermarket. Look for standard sandwich bread in the bakery aisle, and high-quality ham and mozzarella in the refrigerated deli section. For a more authentic result, use a good-quality block Parmesan and grate it yourself rather than using pre-packaged options.
Preparation method
- Grease a baking dish with a little butter.
- Line the bottom of the dish with half of the bread slices.
- Cover the bread with an even layer of ham.
- Distribute the sliced tomatoes over the ham.
- Scatter the chopped olives over the tomato layer.
- Add the slices of mozzarella to cover the filling.
- Sprinkle dried oregano over the cheese.
- Cover with the remaining slices of bread.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper.
- Pour the egg and milk mixture evenly over the bread assembly.
- 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 over the top.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C until the top is golden and bubbling.
