Conchiglioni with Canestrato Pugliese cheese filling

Preparation

Pirofila di conchiglioni con sopra uno strato di burro fuso

Boil the conchiglioni in abundant salted water, remove from the heat when still slightly underdone.
Separately brown the onion cut into fine slices in a frying pan in 40g of butter. Add the cooked ham cut into fillets and allow to flavour for a couple of minutes.
Put the Canestrato Pugliese cheese in a bowl and add the sauce, salt and pepper. Mix with care and then add the eggs, mixing well.
Fill the conchiglioni with the mixture and lay them out in a buttered oven dish. Dot with flakes of butter and sprinkle with the grated parmigiano.
Bake for about 15 minutes in the oven at 180°. When cooked, serve immediately in the oven dish.
