Stefánia meatloaf

by | Dec 4, 2015 | Meat dishes

Stefánia meatloaf is the big brother of pork patties. It’s prepared from a similar meat mixture, stuffed with hardboiled eggs, and instead of pan-frying it’s baked in the oven. Hardboiled eggs are sometimes replaced with a stick of sausage inserted in the middle of the loaf, that too is divine. Stefánia meatloaf can be served fresh out from the oven as a lunch or dinner dish, or used cold as a tasty sandwich filling.

The meatloaf can be coated with breadcrumbs, but I prefer to brush its top with beaten egg as the egg wash helps prevent splitting. I cut off the ends of the hardboiled eggs, so when you slice the loaf, a normal slice of egg can be found everywhere.  If it’s possible, I avoid using soaked bread, but in this case I wanted to stick to the tradition and followed the recipe’s instructions to make a real Stefánia meatloaf.

Hungarian cottage cheese

This is what Hungarian túró looks like

You often ask me what kind of cottage cheese (or curd cheese or farmer's cheese - call it what you want) I use in the recipes. In Hungary the store-bought cottage cheese is dry and crumbly as you can see in the picture. So if a recipe calls for túró, I mean this type. If you can't obtain túró, you can try to make your own from whole milk. Click on the link below.

If you are looking for a Hungarian recipe that hasn't been published on this website yet, let me know, and I'll do my best to post it.

Metric system vs cup

In Hungary metric units are in use, all the recipes on this website are based on this system, so a kitchen scale is necessary. Since I’m not familiar with cup as a measurement unit, I convert grams to cups by using an online converter. The values in brackets, therefore, are only approximate volumes, so, please, double-check them before you start cooking.
