Directions

Step 1

Prepare all the ingredients.

Step 2

In a skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil. Add mushrooms, onions, and a pinch of salt. Sauté until mushrooms start to turn golden brown and onions are transparent (about 5 minutes).

Step 3

Create space in the center of the pan, add garlic, and cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Add bell peppers and sauté until they just start to soften (about 2 minutes). Season with black pepper, cayenne, and more salt if needed.

Step 4

Remove from heat, transfer to a baking dish, and preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 5

In a bowl, combine ricotta, Parmesan, and Monterey Jack cheese. Season with parsley, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Mix well to incorporate all ingredients.

Step 6

Divide the filling between the 4 slices of ham and roll each slice into a tube.

Step 7

Place the ham rolls on top of the vegetable mixture and sprinkle with grated Monterey Jack cheese.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted and everything is heated through (about 25-30 minutes).

Step 9

Garnish with parsley and serve hot!
