Ingredienser
  

  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 medium apple, peeled and finely diced
  • 4 oz Gouda cheese, cut into 4 cubes
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Cook the bacon in a skillet until crisp, then crumble it and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, crumbled bacon, diced apple, breadcrumbs, egg, chopped onion, salt, black pepper, and thyme. Mix until evenly blended.
  • Divide the mixture into four equal portions. Flatten each portion slightly, place one Gouda cube in the center, and shape the meat around it to form a mini loaf, sealing the cheese inside.
  • Place the meatloaves on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F.
  • Let the meatloaves rest for 5 minutes before serving.

merknader

Use a firm apple like Granny Smith to keep the pieces from turning mushy during baking. If the mixture feels too wet, add an extra tablespoon of breadcrumbs. These reheat well in a 350 degree F oven for 10 minutes to restore the crisp edges without drying out the cheese center.
