Ever had a meatloaf quite like this?
The versatility of the air fryer never ceases to amaze us. This time we tried out egg-stuffed meatloaf, and the results are mouthwatering! Juicy, with a crisp outer skin, and a satisfying egg surprise inside. We can't get enough of this recipe. See all the steps below.
Ingredients
- 5 small eggs
- 500g regular beef mince
- 1 cup wholemeal fresh breadcrumbs
- 1 small onion, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 carrot, grated (150g)
- ⅓ cup shredded parmesan, plus extra for garnish (45g)
- ½ cup finely chopped parsley, plus extra for garnish
- ⅓ cup smokey barbecue sauce
- Mixed salad leaves and medley cherry tomatoes, to serve
Method
- Place four eggs into a medium saucepan. Cover with cold water and bring to the boil. Boil for 3 minutes (because eggs are small). Drain and cool in cold water until completely cold. Peel and set aside.
- Combine mince, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, carrot, parmesan, parsley, 1 tablespoon sauce and remaining egg. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well with clean hands until thoroughly combined.
- Divide mixture evenly to create four large balls. Make an opening and stuff one boiled egg into the centre of each meatloaf. Reshape the balls into loaf shapes.
- Place loaves into an oiled air fryer basket. Cook at 180C for 10 minutes. Spoon barbecue sauce over the top of each loaf and cook at 180C for a further 8 minutes, or until the mince is cooked through.
- Serve with salad leaves and tomatoes.
Notes
- Use small eggs for centre of meatloaves as large eggs can cause the loaf to split open.
- Alternately, meatloaves can be cooked in an 200C (fan-forced) oven for 15 minutes. Glaze and return to the oven for a further 10 minutes.
