Meatloaf Stuffed With Ham, Cheese, And Eggs

Is there any dish more nostalgic than meatloaf? Probably not. Unfortunately, though, most of us have relegated meatloaf to mere childhood memories and don't ever really allow ourselves the simple pleasure of loafing it up. But we would do anything for meatloaf! Not the singer, obviously, but the dish, and so we worked hard to develop a recipe that takes the classic meatloaf and firmly establishes it in the 21st century. Filled with ham, cheese, garlic & herb cream cheese, and eggs, this ain't your mama's meatloaf, folks!

You'll Need:

For the meatloaf:

• 1½ lbs ground beef
• ½ cup bread crumbs
• 2 eggs
• 1 onion, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• salt & pepper to taste

For the filling:

• 2-3 ham slices
• ¾ cup garlic & herb cream cheese
• 3-4 Gouda or Swiss cheese slices
• 3 eggs

Here's How:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with butter and swirl some bread crumbs around the inside of the pan so they stick to the butter. Combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, eggs, onion, salt, and pepper, and transfer the meatloaf mixture to the greased loaf pan. Press a tall glass into the loaf pan horizontally to create an indent in the center.

2. Line the indent with the ham slices.

3. Cover the ham with the garlic & herb cream cheese.

4. Cover the cream cheese with the cheese slices.

5. Crack 3 eggs over the cheese.

6. Transfer the loaf pan to the oven and cook for 60 minutes.
