Steps

75 mins

1

Preheat the oven to 374°F / 190°C
2

Boil 4 eggs for 3,5 minutes. Cool down, peel and set aside.
3

Using the olive oil, sauté the onions, bell pepper, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for 8 minutes or until the onions are translucent but not brown. Remove from the plate and immediately add the Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, tomato ketchup and breadcrumbs. Allow to cool slightly. Then mix in 1 uncooked egg.
4

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, onion mixture, mix lightly with a fork. Don't over mix or the meat loaf will be dense.
5

Place half of the mixture in a greased bread pan. Make indentations for the boiled eggs, using a raw egg. Place the eggs in a row.
6

Cover with the remaining meat, getting it in the shape of a loaf. Work softly so that you don't break the eggs.
7

Mix ingredients for topping and spread on loaf.
8

Bake for 1 hour. Place a pan of hot water in the oven, under the meat loaf to keep the top from drying out. Rest for about 15 minutes before serving.
