Where to find ingredients
Sandwich bread, ham, and mozzarella can be found in any standard supermarket or local grocery shop in Zimbabwe. For the Parmesan cheese, check the dairy or 'imported cheese' section in larger retailers. If you cannot find good quality Parmesan, a sharp mature cheddar is a suitable local substitute for the topping, though the original recipe calls for Parmesan for its distinct salty finish. Tomatoes and olives are readily available at fresh produce markets or the vegetable section of your local grocer.
Preparation method
- Grease a baking dish with butter
- Line the bottom of the dish with half of the bread slices
- Cover the bread layer with the ham
- 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 oregano to your liking over the filling
- Cover everything 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 preparation stand for 10 minutes to soak in
- 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
