Juicy Homemade Meatloaf with Oats and Carrots

Hard-boil three eggs (about 9 minutes), cool them and peel. Preheat the oven to 190 °C.

In a pan, quickly sauté the onion in oil until translucent, then add the garlic until fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

In a large bowl, combine the ground meat, grated carrots, oats, a raw egg, the sautéed onion and all the spices (parsley, marjoram, paprika, salt, pepper). Knead the mixture well with your hands.

On a baking tray lined with parchment paper, spread half of the meat mixture into a rectangular shape. Place the boiled eggs in a row down the center.

Cover the eggs with the remaining meat mixture and, with slightly wet hands, shape it into a smooth loaf. Make sure there are no air pockets between the meat and the eggs.

Brush the loaf with a little oil and bake for 45–50 minutes. You can place a small container of water at the bottom of the oven to create steam for extra juiciness. Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
