Shout out to KOL Foods customer Iris Friedman for this recipe idea! Iris uses a simple meatloaf recipe, but says the quality of the meat and the embedded eggs elevate the dish. She serves her meatloaf atop a bed of sauteed red and white cabbage and shitakes, with a side of salt-and-vinegar fingerlings - yum! 

Ingredients:

2 lbs KOL Foods Brisket Burger Blend

1 medium onion, chopped fine

½ cup blanched almond flour (or ½ cup breadcrumbs or ⅓ cup matzah meal

½ cup blanched almond flour (or bread crumbs or matzah meal)

4 garlic cloves, minced

4 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (or the equivalent dried)

1 teaspoon celtic salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

2 eggs, raw for mixture 

3-4 eggs, hard-boiled

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving a couple of inches of overhang on the long sides. This will make it easy to lift the finished loaf out later.

2. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onions, breadcrumbs (or matzah meal), garlic, salt, and raw eggs. Mix gently but thoroughly until everything is evenly incorporated.

3. Press about one-third of the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Arrange the hard-boiled eggs in a line down the center, then layer the remaining meat mixture over and around them, sealing the eggs inside and smoothing the top.

4. Place the loaf pan on a baking sheet and bake for about 1 hour, or until the top is deeply browned and the internal temperature reaches 160°F.

5. Let the loaf rest for 10-15 minutes, then use the parchment overhang to lift it out of the pan. Transfer to a serving dish, remove the parchment, slice, and serve warm with your favorite sides.
