Meatloaf Surprise in a Loaf of Bread
Today in the Scrumdiddlyumptious kitchen we're combining two classics, the humble loaf of bread and the ever reliable meatloaf. We all love a bit of meatloaf, but have you ever tried meatloaf in a loaf of bread? No? Then we have a treat in store for you. All you need to do is prepare, bake and enjoy!
Equipment
- Loaf Pan
Ingredients
- 750 g ground meat
- 30 g bread crumbs
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
- 0.5 tbsp ground caraway
- 0.5 tbsp sweet paprika
- 2 eggs
- salt & pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp parsley
- 750 g loaf brown bread approx. 26½ oz
- 4 slices bacon
- 150 g cream cheese approx. 5⅓ oz
- 2 slices cheese
- 4 boiled eggs
- 150 g mozzarella, shredded approx. 5⅓ oz
Instructions
- First prepare the meat filling by mixing the ground beef with the other ingredients.
- Cut the top off the loaf of bread and hollow it out. Line the loaf with roughly two thirds of the ground beef mix, but leave a trench free in the middle.
- Lay the bacon slices in this hollow, on top of the ground beef. Spread the cream cheese on top of the bacon, then put the cheese slices on top of that before placing all four boiled eggs whole on top of that.
- Cover the filling with the rest of the ground beef, hollow out the top of the loaf of bread, and then place on top as lid. Sprinkle it with mozzarella then bake it in a convection oven for 35 minutes at 320°F.
