2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves, plus extra sprigs for garnish
1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
1 large egg
1 small onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
fremgangsmåte
Place the ground beef, chopped mushrooms, 3/4 cup of the shredded Swiss cheese, thyme leaves, breadcrumbs, egg, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix with your hands until just combined.
Shape the mixture into a compact loaf about 8 inches long and 4 inches wide. Brush the top and sides with the olive oil.
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F. Place the loaf in the basket and cook for 20 minutes.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup shredded Swiss cheese over the top. Cook for another 5 to 8 minutes until the cheese melts and the edges turn golden brown.
Remove the meatloaf and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs.

Chop the mushrooms very small so they blend into the meat without creating wet spots. If the loaf browns too quickly on top, loosely cover it with foil for the final minutes. Leftovers reheat well in the air fryer at 350°F for 4 minutes to restore the crisp edges.Course: Main Course
