2. In a large bowl, add all the cheeses, eggs, and heavy cream. Mix thoroughly, then fold in the prosciutto and salami; mix well.

3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a ⅛-inch-thick round about 18 inches in diameter. Fit dough into a 9-inch springform pan, leaving a 2- to 3-inch overhang. Into the shell, add the cheese-meat mixture.

4. Carefully fold the extra dough over the top of the filling toward the center of the torta, leaving the top partially open. Brush dough with egg wash.

2. Into the bowl of rice, add mushroom-vegetable mixture. When thoroughly mixed, add the bread crumbs, whole eggs and grated cheese. Mix and set aside or keep in refrigerator until ready to stuff leg of lamb.
