Where to find ingredients
You can find these staples at local supermarkets in Kampala or major regional towns. Look for fresh mozzarella and ham in the deli or cold cuts section. Crustless sandwich bread is available in the bakery aisle of most major retailers. If you cannot find mozzarella, a mild gouda or cheddar makes a suitable substitute.
Preparation method
- Grease a baking dish with a little butter.
- Line the bottom of the dish with half of the bread slices.
- Place a layer of ham over the bread.
- Arrange the sliced tomatoes on top of the ham.
- Scatter the chopped olives over the tomatoes.
- Add the sliced mozzarella as the next layer.
- Sprinkle with oregano to taste.
- Cover the filling with the remaining bread slices.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper.
- Pour the egg and milk mixture evenly over the prepared layers.
- Let the dish rest for 10 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the liquid.
- Dot the top with small pieces of butter.
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the surface.
