Three-Cheese Ham Rolls
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 1/2 cups sliced brown or white mushrooms
  • 1 large yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced or crushed
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • salt to taste
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • pinch of cayenne pepper
  • 4 slices smoked ham
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese for the top
  • 12 ounces ricotta cheese
  • 2 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, grated
  • 1/2 ounce finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (1/2 cup packed if grated on a microplane)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 pinch nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons freshly chopped Italian parsley
Instructions
1
First, collect all the necessary ingredients for this dish.
2
Next, heat a generous amount of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced mushrooms, chopped onions, and a small amount of salt to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms begin to develop a golden brown hue and the onions become translucent, approximately 5 minutes.
3
Now, create some space in the center of the pan and add minced garlic. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds, adding more olive oil if the mixture seems dry. Add sliced bell peppers and cook until they start to soften, about 2 minutes.
4
Season the mixture with black pepper, a pinch of cayenne for added flavor, and more salt to taste. Remove the skillet from the heat source.
5
Transfer the vegetable mixture to a suitable baking dish or pan, and preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
6
In a separate bowl, combine softened ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Add a handful of chopped parsley, salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg to the mixture. Mix everything together until it's well incorporated.
7
Divide the cheese filling evenly among 4 slices of ham. Roll each slice into a cylindrical shape.
8
Place the rolled ham slices on top of the vegetable mixture, and sprinkle some grated Monterey Jack cheese over them.
9
Bake the dish in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted and everything is heated through, approximately 25 to 30 minutes.

Finally, garnish with some chopped parsley if desired and serve the dish hot!
