1

Fire up a barbecue and prepare the chimney starter with two fire starters.

2

Once the charcoal is fully lit, spread it out over the grill grate and place the plancha on top.

3

Add a little bit of olive oil to the plancha to make the surface nonstick.

4

Grate Parmesan cheese onto baking foil and spread it out, then place it on the plancha.

5

Let the cheese turn yellow and render out the grease, then remove it carefully once done.

6

Add more olive oil to the plancha and crack an egg on it, seasoning with salt and pepper.

7

Once the egg is cooked, remove it from the plancha.

8

Place the mortadella on the grill, flipping it until crispy on the outside and warmed through.

9

Stretch buffalo mozzarella on top of the mortadella to melt, then place the egg back on top to warm it.

10

Slice open the Italian buns and grill them briefly to soak up flavor.

11

Assemble the sandwich: start with the grilled bun, add shredded lettuce and sliced tomato, then layer on the mortadella, the egg, and the Parmesan cookies on top.

12

Close the sandwich and slice it open to serve.
