Ingredients

4 leeks, white part only (8 cm / 3 in long), halved lengthwise
8 thin slices (90 g) pancetta
8 thin slices (100 g) Cacciocavallo cheese
250 ml (1 cup) bread crumbs
45 ml (3 tbsp) butter, melted

Directions

  1. Using a steamer basket, steam the leeks for 8 minutes, until just tender. Rinse under cold water and drain on a towel.
  2. Lay a slice of pancetta on your work surface, cover with a slice of cheese and place a leek half on top. Roll up, and repeat with the remaining pancetta, cheese and leeks.
  3. Spread half the bread crumbs in the bottom of a baking dish. Place the leek rolls in the dish in a single layer, sprinkle with the remaining crumbs, and drizzle with melted butter.
  4. Preheat the broiler and place the rack in the middle of the oven.
  5. Broil the rolls about 10 minutes, or until the pancetta is crisp and golden.
