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 meatloaf like no other!
Grease a 9”x5” loaf pan with oil and line with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 180c/350f.
Meanwhile, combine onion, carrots, garlic and bell pepper in a bowl. Heat oil in a pan. Saute the vegetables have softened, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork, cooked vegetables and the rest of the embutido ingredients. Mix well by hands or a large spoon.
To assemble, spread half of the meat mixture at the bottom of an oiled loaf pan. Arrange the hard-boiled eggs and sausage in the center (see video). Top with the remaining mixture. Press the meat down and shape evenly.
In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients for the sauce. Spread on top of the meat mixture and bake for 1 hour. Let it rest for 10 minutes. Transfer to a serving plate and slice into serving pieces. Enjoy!

Notes
Line the loaf pan with a parchment paper so you can easily transfer the meat onto a serving plate.
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 1 hour before cooking and fry in a pan with hot oil until all sides are brown.
