Baked Embutido is a Filipino-style meatloaf made with ground pork and vegetables. Filled with hard-boiled eggs and sausage at the center, it has raisins, pickles, and cheese. Truly, a Christmas meatloaf like no other!

Baked Embutido, A Filipino Style Meatloaf

Basic Filipino Embutido Ingredients

  • Ground Pork. For moist and tender embutido, ground meat with at least 30% fat is recommended.
  • Vegetables and aromatics. Classic vegetables for Filipino meatloaf are carrots, red and green bell peppers, raisins, garlic, and onions. The vegetables give the mixture a touch of color and natural sweetness.
  • Pickle Relish. Sweet and tangy. The two main
  • Milk. This adds extra moisture and tenderizes the ground pork.
  • Egg and Bread crumbs. These two serve as a binder so the meat won't lose its shape after baking. The egg also adds richness and flavor to the whole dish.
  • Cheese. Whoever thought of adding cheese to embutido was just pure genius! I love the depth of flavor it gives to the meat.
  • Salt and Pepper.
  • Filling. Whole boiled eggs and sausages. Didn't I tell you our embutido is a meatloaf like no other?

Meatloaf Filipino Style Rice Bowl

Baking Embutido in a loaf pan is an easier way of making embutido. Traditionally it is prepared by wrapping the mixture with a foil and rolling it into a log or thick sushi and then steamed for an hour.

In this recipe, all you need to do is combine the mixture together and do a one-time assembly in a loaf pan. Baked it for an hour and it's ready to go! Easy, peasy!

A few tips

  • Line the loaf pan with parchment paper so you can easily transfer the meat onto a serving plate. I honestly forgot to do this and had to use a plate to flip the meatloaf. It kind of ruined the glaze but I was able to fix it for a decent photo.
  • Do a taste test before baking. Scoop a small portion and fry the mixture in a pan with warm oil. Adjust seasoning accordingly.
  • You can omit the hard-boiled eggs and sausage. It will still taste the same. Promise!
  • If you don't have breadcrumbs, just use two eggs. Another alternative would be to use regular loaf bread. Cut them into small pieces. Soak it in milk then add to the mixture.
  • You can freeze this for two weeks in portions.
  • To reheat, defrost for 1 hour before cooking and fry in a pan with hot oil until all sides are brown.

Do you like fried Embutido?

I do! Frying gives the exterior a little bit of char and smoky flavor. It's also how I reheat leftovers that I often eat with fried garlic rice and egg. It's so good!
