Klops-Meat-egg Loaf

Ingredients

900 gr beef
3 slices bread
55 gr bread crumbs
8 egg
65 gr parsnips
1/2 stock
1 carrot
2 onion
2 garlic clove
1 gr nutmeg
1 gr allspice
2 gr parsley

Instructions

Margarine Mix all the ingredients except the hard-boiled eggs and the margarine. Put half the mixture into a well-greased loaf pan (I found that I didn't need to oil the pan), then put the whole hard-boiled eggs in a row down the middle of the meat and cover with the remaining meat mixture. Dab the top with margarine as desired: a lot if the meat is lean, very little if it is fat. Bake for 15 minutes in a 260ºC . oven, then reduce the heat to 180ºC . for about 45 minutes, until brown on top. Serve warm or cold in thick slices so the egg centers each piece.
