Procedure for the Sandwich Cake with Salami and Ricotta
The ricotta to be used must be drained of its whey the night before. Leave it, therefore, in its own basket and place it inside a container, without letting it touch the bottom.
In a large bowl, place the fresh spreadable cheese and the drained ricotta, and using a fork or an electric mixer, mix well to perfectly combine.
Wash the lettuce leaves and dry them well. Cut them into strips with a knife. Hard boil the eggs, peel them and cut them into pieces. Cut the olives into slices.
On a tray, place the first slice of sandwich bread and spread 1/4 of the cheese mixture on it, using the knife blade or a spatula.
Add half of the crumbled eggs and cover the entire surface with the lettuce. Continue with the second slice of bread.
Spread the cheese on this slice too. Place the sliced salami and olive slices on top. I used a small salami, but everyone can choose as they wish.
Spread the ricotta and spreadable cheese mixture again on the third slice and repeat the egg and lettuce operation.
Cover with the fourth slice and this time add only the cheeses. Garnish the surface with 3 quail eggs cut in half lengthwise, various herbs, and edible flowers.
Store the Sandwich Cake with Salami and Ricotta in the fridge overnight. This way, the bread will soften and absorb more flavor.
When ready to serve, cut into slices or squares. To facilitate cutting, skewer the sandwich bread with toothpicks to keep it steady.
Enjoy your meal!
