Directions
- 1Prepare the batter using a food processor or a bowl with a whisk.
- 2Add 280g of flour, a pinch of salt, three whole eggs, 350g of milk, 100ml of vegetable oil, and a tablespoon of baking powder (or a teaspoon for a thinner sandwich).
- 3Mix at a high speed until you get a smooth, semi-liquid batter, similar to a savory cake batter.
- 4Take a rectangular baking tin, about 20 x 30 cm, and lightly grease it if necessary.
- 5Pour half of the batter into the bottom of the tin.
- 6Add a layer of ham, prosciutto, or other cured meat.
- 7Follow with a layer of about 200g of grated or sliced cheese (like mozzarella).
- 8Pour the remaining batter over the filling to cover it completely.
- 9Optionally, add a little freshly grated Parmesan on top for extra flavor.
- 10Bake in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 30 minutes, keeping a close eye until the top is well risen and nicely golden brown.
- 11Carefully turn the sandwich over so the perfectly smooth bottom faces up.
- 12Cut it into square or rectangular slices.

Tips
- If you prefer a slightly thinner sandwich, you can reduce the baking powder to a teaspoon.
- The traditional version works well with sliced cheese instead of grated mozzarella.
- You can add a second layer of ham if you like, but it's not necessary.
- Keep a close eye on it until the end of baking; the top should be well risen and nicely golden brown.
- Turning it over so the smooth bottom faces up makes it look pretty.
- This recipe is adaptable; you can replace ham with chicken, turkey, or vegetarian options, and add ingredients like corn kernels, olives, or other vegetables/condiments.
