- 1 sachet of ready-made sauce
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise or cream cheese
- 2 tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon oregano
Garnish:
- 5–6 olives
Instructions
- Arrange the oven rack in the middle position and heat to 180°C (350°F).
- Select a 30×20 cm baking dish and create the initial foundation with a neat layer of sandwich bread.
- Apply a smooth, consistent coating of mayonnaise or cream cheese across the bread surface.
- Carefully distribute ham slices to cover the entire bread layer, ensuring complete coverage.
- Generously sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the ham, creating an even distribution.
- Dust the cheese with dried oregano for enhanced aromatic flavor.
- Strategically place fresh tomato slices and sliced olives across the layer.
- Methodically repeat the layering process, stacking bread, spread, ham, cheese, herbs, tomatoes, and olives.
- Conclude the final layer with an abundant cheese topping for a golden, crispy finish.
- Drizzle the prepared sauce uniformly across the entire dish, allowing it to seep between layers.
- Transfer the dish to the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes until cheese melts and turns golden.
- Remove from oven and allow the sandwich layers to settle and cool for 5-7 minutes.
- Slice into precise portions and serve warm.
Notes
- Experiment with different bread types like whole wheat or gluten-free options for dietary needs.
- Layer ingredients carefully to ensure even distribution of flavors throughout the dish.
- Use high-quality cheese and cold cuts for maximum taste and texture enhancement.
- Allow the dish to rest for 5 minutes after baking to help set and make slicing easier.
