Ingredients

1 pound Ground beef chuck
8 ounce Ground pork
8 ounce Ground veal
1 medium Yellow onion, chopped
2 cup Fresh bread crumbs
1/4 cup Chopped fresh Italian parsley
1 tablespoon Ketchup
1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
2 whole Eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon Dried thyme
to taste Salt and pepper
1/2 cup Light cream, scalded
8 slices Firm white bread, crusts trimmed, diced
8 ounce Roquefort cheese, crumbled
1 whole Egg, lightly beaten

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with foil.
2
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.
3
Spread the meat mixture evenly onto a large piece of waxed paper or parchment paper, forming a rectangle approximately 15 x 12 inches.
4
In a separate medium bowl, pour the scalded cream over the diced bread (crusts trimmed) and mix well until the bread is saturated.
5
Add the crumbled Roquefort cheese and the 1 lightly beaten egg to the bread mixture. Beat with a fork until smooth and creamy.
6
Spread the cheese and bread mixture evenly over the meat rectangle, leaving a 1-inch border clear on all sides.
7
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.
8
Transfer the rolled meatloaf to the prepared baking sheet, seam side down.
9
Bake for 1 hour, or until the meatloaf is cooked through and golden brown.
10
Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing into thick pieces. Serve immediately.
