- 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves

Method
- Spread bread with ricotta and sandwich pairs of bread slices together with mozzarella, ham, tomato and basil.
- Combine eggs, milk and seasonings in a shallow dish. Dip each sandwich in the egg mixture, draining off excess.
- Melt butter in a non stick frypan. Cook each sandwich for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

FRESH TIP
Try using prosciutto or salami instead of ham. To roast cherry tomatoes, coat in olive oil and roast in a moderate oven for 5-7 minutes, until skins split.
Reduced fat option: Try using Perfect Italiano Grated Light Mozzarella and reduced fat milk as an alternative.
