*see notes and substitutions on the post

步骤

Preheat the oven to 375 F

In a bowl, mix meat, bread crumbs, parmesan, basil, oregano, salt and three tablespoons of water

Place a large piece of parchment paper on your work surface and brush with oil

Invert the meat mixture on the parchment paper. Rub your hands with oil and shape the meat mixture into a 10x12-inch rectangle. Sprinkle with 2 cups of Swiss cheese

Starting on the short side, top half the meat with black forest ham. Then, start at the short side with the ham to tightly roll by using the parchment paper. Then pinch the ends on both sides. *see recipe snapshot

Using the parchment paper, carefully transfer loaf into a deep baking dish with the seam facing down. Bake for 45 minutes

SAUCE

While the loaf is baking, saute garlic and spices in olive oil until just fragrant—about 30 seconds. Add tomato sauce and water and bring to a boil. Add the cream cheese and cook over medium heat until the cheese has melted, stirring as needed. About 5 minutes. Taste and season with salt as needed and set aside

When ready, pour the sauce over the meatloaf and top with the remaining 1/2 cup of Swiss cheese. Continue baking until the cheese has melted, about 15 minutes
