Note about ingredients: Speck is a type of lightly smoked cured ham from Northern Italy. If speck is not available, you may substitute it with prosciutto or lightly smoked bacon, both of which can be found in most international supermarkets. Provola is a semi-soft Italian cheese that melts well; if unavailable, you can use provolone, scamorza, or a good-quality mild mozzarella as alternatives for a similar creamy texture.
