Meatloaf

Method

1. Take stale bread, remove the crust, and soak it in water (do not use milk).
2. Squeeze the bread well and set aside.
3. In a large bowl, mix equal parts minced beef and pork.
4. Add 4 eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley and garlic, salt, and pepper.
5. Add the squeezed bread and knead everything together by hand until well combined.
6. Spread a little oil on a sheet of baking paper, then place the meat mixture on top and flatten it evenly.
7. Sprinkle breadcrumbs over the flattened mixture.
8. Lay fresh provola cheese (well-drained to avoid excess water) and slices of cooked ham over the meat.
9. Using the baking paper to help, roll the meat tightly into a log, pressing the sides to seal.
10. Wrap the log in the baking paper and place it on a baking tray.
11. Bake at 180°C for 15 minutes, then open the paper slightly to let the surface brown and continue baking until golden.
12. Remove from the oven, let it rest briefly, then slice and serve.
