Ingredienser
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup basil pesto
  • 1/3 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Heat the oven to 400°F. Lightly grease 8 cups of a standard muffin tin.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, pesto, Parmesan, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined, taking care not to pack the mixture too firmly.
  • Divide the mixture among the 8 greased muffin cups. Press it in lightly and shape the tops evenly.
  • Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, until the mini meatloaves are cooked through. Let them rest in the tin for 5 minutes before removing.
  • While the meatloaves bake, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, olive oil, red wine vinegar, and chopped basil in a bowl. Toss gently and let the salad sit until serving.
  • Serve the pesto Parmesan meatloaf muffins warm with the cherry tomato salad alongside.

merknader

For tender muffins, mix the beef just until the ingredients come together. Letting the tomato salad sit while the meatloaves bake gives the basil and vinegar time to season the tomatoes, so toss it again just before serving.
