10 -
1 tbsp butter
11 -
1/2 cup shredded Gruyere cheese (or Swiss cheese)
# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
02 -
Melt the butter over medium heat in a frying pan. Stir in the sliced onions. Keep cooking and stirring until they’re golden and caramelized, around 10 minutes. Set aside to cool for a bit.
03 -
In a big bowl, combine the ground meat, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, egg, garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Toss in the caramelized onions and mix everything together well.
04 -
Spoon the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan and mold it into a loaf shape.
05 -
Pop it into the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the loaf hits an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
06 -
When the meatloaf is done, sprinkle the Gruyere cheese on top.
07 -
Return the meatloaf to the oven for another 5 minutes, just long enough for the cheese to melt and bubble.
