How to Make Stuffed Meatloaf Wellington?
Step 1
Break the bread into a bowl, soak it in a drop of milk and add the grated parmesan. Then, add the egg and mix well with a fork.
Step 2
Add both types of minced meat at this point, season with salt and pepper, then knead.
Step 3
On a rectangular sheet of baking paper, flatten the meatloaf dough into an oval. Then spread the spinach leaves over the surface.
Step 4
Also add the scamorza cut into cubes, then press with the palms of your hands, so that the filling adheres to the meat.
Step 5
Using the baking paper underneath, roll up the meatloaf on itself, squeezing and compacting well with your hands as you roll. Wrap the meatloaf in paper and set aside in a cool place.
Step 6
Open a rectangle of puff pastry and place it horizontally. Keep the baking paper underneath and cut the pastry to obtain regular strips, between 1 and 2 cm wide each.
Step 7
Cut out the second rectangle in the same way and use the strips obtained from it to weave them perpendicularly and alternately with the strips of the first rectangle, as if to form the weave of a basket.
Step 8
Gently brush the plait with a thin layer of mustard which will make the pastry stick better to the meat.
Step 9
Take the meatloaf and, using its baking paper, let it slide to the base of the braided puff pastry.
Step 10
Now lift the sheet of baking paper underneath the braid and help yourself to wrap the pastry around the meatloaf with firm movements. Squeeze well by pressing with your fingertips.
Step 11
Place the wrapped meatloaf onto a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Make sure that the sealed part is facing down. Brush the surface with the egg yolk, beaten with a drop of milk.
Step 12
Cook on the low level of a static oven preheated to 390°F/200°C for approximately 15 minutes. Then, lower the temperature to 360°F/180°C and continue for another 45 minutes. If necessary, cover the meatloaf with aluminum foil if it gets too dark towards the end.
Step 13
Remove the meatloaf from the oven when it appears golden brown and let it rest for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a serving plate.
Step 14
Enjoy!
