Proceed alternating in this way all the ingredients, until they are exhausted. Complete by seasoning with a drizzle of oil, black pepper and a few leaves of fresh basil. The caprese with eggplant and raw ham is ready. Serve it immediately or keep it in the fridge until ready to bring it to the table.
