Carbonara log "cake"

It's probably just me, but the final product seems reminiscent of those Happy Homemaker "thrifty ways to use leftovers" recipes from women's magazines and housekeeping hints magazine columns.

No. 14: flatten the slices, line them up on a cookie sheet, spread with sour cream, add some quickly crisped bits of bacon (Suzy Says: Leftover ham is good for this, too!), then roll it up, dust with parmesan, and bake until golden. Watch your ladies' brunch eat it up and beg for more!

P.S. Plopping a soft-boiled egg yolk on top in no way constitutes "Carbonara".
