- butter – 20-30 grams;

Preparation
- Before we start with the meat, let’s prepare the mushrooms, as we will subject them to heat treatment. If you have the opportunity to buy wild mushrooms, that would be wonderful. If not, we’ll use champignons. Fortunately, they are freely available these days. Prepare the mushrooms for chopping, wash and clean them. Cut into slices.
- Fry the slices of champignons in butter, slightly salting them. Leave the cooked mushrooms to cool.
- Next is the minced meat. To prepare it, cut the meat into small pieces, peel the garlic, and put everything in a blender or meat grinder, and chop.
- The meat is prepared, let’s prepare the mixture that will make our minced meat tender and juicy. First, combine the egg with the cream and whisk them together.
- Add flour to the mixture and knead it.
- Combine the minced meat with the egg-cream mixture and add salt and pepper. Thoroughly mix everything. The mince should become homogeneous and slightly sticky.
- Let’s start preparing the filling. The mushrooms that have cooled down by this time will go into the blender and be chopped. Mushroom minced meat will give the loaf more tenderness.
- It’s simple with the cheese. Take a large grater and grate it.
- Chop the clean herbs finely.
- Everything is prepared, let’s start forming the loaf. Take a baking sheet, grease it. Lay plastic wrap on it, lightly wet it with water. Spread the prepared minced meat on it and level it out.
- Place the first layer of filling. This will be the mushroom mince.
- Sprinkle the mushroom mince with cheese. Leave a little cheese (about thirty grams) aside.
- The last layer will be the herbs.
- After laying out all the filling, use the wrap to roll the loaf.
- Carefully place it on the baking sheet seam side down.
- The loaf is laid out, prepare the sauce for greasing it. The sauce is very easy to make. Mix the sour cream with the ketchup.
- Grease the loaf with the prepared sauce, pour a little water onto the baking sheet and send it to a hot oven.
- After about thirty minutes, take the loaf out, sprinkle it with the remaining cheese, and back into the oven for ten minutes. Place the finished loaf on a plate and it can be served at the table.
Meatloaf with tender mushroom filling and a golden cheesy crust is a decoration for any table. It can be made for Easter or any other holiday. Enjoy your meal!
