To prepare a delicious meat roll with a cheese crust, the beginning is essential. Start by soaking a few slices of bread in cold water so that they become soft and absorb enough moisture. This will help achieve a juicy composition for your roll. While the bread is soaking, prepare the onion: chop three pieces of onion finely so that they integrate perfectly into the meat mixture.
In a large bowl, add the minced meat, which can be pork, beef, or a combination of the two, depending on your preferences. Squeeze the bread well to remove excess water and add it to the meat. Then, incorporate the chopped onion, two teaspoons of mustard, two eggs, salt and pepper to taste, as well as a teaspoon of sweet paprika, which will add a touch of color and flavor. Use your hands to mix all the ingredients until you achieve a homogeneous composition.
After shaping the mixture into a roll, place it in a greased baking dish, ensuring it is well compacted. Preheat the oven to a low temperature, then put the roll in to bake on the middle rack for about 30-40 minutes. This process will allow the meat to cook evenly and retain its juiciness.
Meanwhile, prepare the cheese crust that will add a crunchy and delicious layer to your roll. In another bowl, beat an egg and add grated cheese, pepper, a teaspoon of paprika, chopped fresh parsley, salt, and two tablespoons of breadcrumbs, as well as half an onion grated. Mix the ingredients well until homogeneous.
After the 30 minutes of baking have passed, remove the roll from the oven and evenly spread the cheese mixture over the surface of the roll. Put the baking dish back in the oven and let it bake together for another 15-20 minutes, until the crust becomes golden and crunchy.
In the end, take the roll out of the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve the slices of roll alongside a side of sautéed vegetables, which may include carrots, broccoli, or zucchini, all lightly sautéed in olive oil with garlic and spices. This combination will bring a perfect contrast between the crunchy texture of the crust and the juiciness of the meat. Enjoy your meal!
