Sandwich bread lasagna with ham and mozzarella is a quick alternative to classic lasagna, using crustless slices of white bread instead of pasta. The sauce comes together in a few minutes with onion, garlic, tomato paste, and cream, and is layered with ham and mozzarella. Prep takes about 15 minutes and is manageable even for beginners. You can grate Parmesan over the top.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Heat the oil in a saucepan and sauté the onion. Add the garlic, followed by the tomato paste.
Pour in the cream and bring the sauce to a boil.
Remove the sauce from the heat and let it cool. Trim the crusts from the bread.
Line the bottom of a baking dish with bread, then layer the sauce, ham, and mozzarella over it. Repeat the layers of bread, sauce, ham, and cheese until all the ingredients are used.
Bake the lasagna in an oven preheated to 200 °C (400 °F) for about 30 minutes, until golden. Sprinkle Parmesan over the top just before the end of baking.

Tip: Don't throw away the trimmed crusts—dry them and grind them into breadcrumbs. Grease the baking dish with oil before adding the first layer of bread to keep the bottom from sticking.
