Main Ingredients- 1 cup minced pork (approx. 100g)
- 1 cup minced beef (approx. 100g)
- 1/4 onion
- 2 Tbsp milk
- 3 Tbsp breadcrumbs
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Pinch of black pepper
- 2 sprigs rosemary (optional, for aroma)
- 3 hard-boiled eggs (peeled)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, finely mince the onion. Mincing it finely will help it blend seamlessly into the meat mixture for a smoother texture.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the minced pork, minced beef, finely minced onion, milk, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper. Knead the mixture thoroughly with your hands for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes sticky and cohesive. It’s important to knead until the meat is well-combined and develops a slightly springy texture.
Step 3
Divide the kneaded meat mixture into three equal portions. Flatten each portion into a disc shape, place a peeled hard-boiled egg in the center, and carefully enclose the egg with the meat mixture, ensuring it’s completely sealed. Smooth out the surface to create a neat oval or round shape.
Step 4
Place the formed meatloaves on aluminum foil. If you’re using rosemary, place the sprigs on top of the meatloaf for added fragrance. Then, tightly wrap each meatloaf with aluminum foil. Wrapping them in foil helps to retain moisture during baking, resulting in a more succulent meatloaf.
Step 5
Place the foil-wrapped meatloaves into a preheated oven at 190°C (375°F) and bake for approximately 30 minutes for the first stage. This initial baking ensures the meat cooks through.
Step 6
While the meatloaves are baking, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, mix together 3 tablespoons of ketchup and 3 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce until well combined to create the sweet and savory glaze. Carefully remove the meatloaves from the oven, gently unwrap the foil, and generously brush the prepared sauce over the top of each meatloaf.
Step 7
Return the sauced meatloaves to the 190°C (375°F) oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Bake until the sauce is slightly caramelized and the meatloaf has a beautiful golden-brown color. Slice and serve while hot; the runny egg yolk inside is a delightful surprise!
