Directions
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with foil.
-
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, pork, and veal. Add the chopped onion, fresh bread crumbs, parsley, ketchup, mustard, 2 beaten eggs, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
-
Spread the meat mixture evenly onto a large piece of waxed paper or parchment paper, forming a rectangle approximately 15 x 12 inches.
-
In a separate medium bowl, pour the scalded cream over the diced bread (crusts trimmed) and mix well until the bread is saturated.
-
Add the crumbled Roquefort cheese and the 1 lightly beaten egg to the bread mixture. Beat with a fork until smooth and creamy.
-
Spread the cheese and bread mixture evenly over the meat rectangle, leaving a 1-inch border clear on all sides.
-
Using the waxed paper to assist, carefully roll up the meat starting from one short side, like a jelly roll. Peel back the paper as you roll to form a tight log.
-
Transfer the rolled meatloaf to the prepared baking sheet, seam side down.
-
Bake for 1 hour, or until the meatloaf is cooked through and golden brown.
-
Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing into thick pieces. Serve immediately.
