Hey dudes!
I am Hilah, and today on Hilah Cooking I have a really easy and unusual breakfast recipe
to share with you.
It's like a meatloaf, but you eat it for breakfast.
It's called a breakfast meatloaf, so what a breakfast meatloaf is, is pork sausage mix
which I am gonna show you how to make that from scratch, and then we're gonna shove a
couple of boiled eggs in there, bake that whole thing off, and then when you cut it
open, it looks like a rainbow, and it's guaranteed to be delicious.
We're gonna start out by just making a real standard maple breakfast sausage mixture here.
So I've got about a pound of ground pork.
If you wanted to make this lower fat, you could totally use turkey or just a lean ground
pork or something like that, some salt, some dried sage, paprika, and mustard powder, and
black pepper.
I am gonna make mine a little bit more on the black pepper than you might find at a
store, and if you wanted to do this recipe with a store bought breakfast sausage, you
could totally do that.
I do not give a shit.
Just kidding, I care very much about what you eat.
Okay, so I am gonna add a little bit of maple syrup, just about a tablespoon.
You don't want it to be like sweet I think.
I mean maybe you do.
You could add more, but I think just like this, so I am gonna mix this up, and then
this is what if you wanted to even just make this into patties and make your own maple
breakfast sausage, you could totally use this recipe, and just make it up into little patties.
You don't have to make a whole meatloaf thing.
It's kind of fun because you know, that way you can, well, I don't know, it's fun!
I don't know if it's really fun, but it's cool because then you can also, like, I was
saying, you can use turkey or something and make it lower fat if you want to or make it
milder or spicier or just, you know, do what you want and make it your own thing.
Okay, once these spices are pretty incorporated into this, lookin' good, lookin' fine.
I am gonna add some egg, and this is just gonna help to bind it.
I have made this without the extra egg in the filling, and it works okay.
I just, I like the texture better with the egg, so whatever; a little bit of carrot.
Got to get some veggies in there, some onion.
I am gonna add jalapeno.
That was a lot.
Do what you want.
Some red, or yellow bell pepper, and some fresh parsley, and also if you wanted to do
more of like a Mexican version of this, you could use chorizo sausage and add cilantro
instead, or you could make it Italian and add basil, or you could make it Greek and
make it oregano.
I am just full of ideas today guys, just full of great ideas.
Okay, just mix this up.
Okay, so this is all mixed up.
Uggghhh.
But I am not even gonna bother washing my hands because I am about to get 'em really
dirty again.
A little flat baking sheet here.
You could do this in a loaf pan I guess, but it cooks a little bit faster if you do it
just free-form.
So I am gonna take about half my mixture, a little bit less than half, and shape it
into sort of a long oval, or a smooth-sided rectangle, whatever you would like to call
that in geometry class that's long enough to fit two hardboiled eggs in there.
And I am gonna put it down like that.
And then I have got these boiled eggs here that I have peeled obviously, and I have got
a few spinach leaves, and this is really just for color.
I mean there's a little bit of vitamins here I guess, but probably not really much to count.
Just wrap it in some spinach leaves.
You could totally leave this out if you wanted to, and then take another half of the remaining
mixture and just start shaping it around the egg, and it's sort of like you were making,
if you've ever made a Scotch egg, it's basically that.
You could just do the same thing and do that and bake the eggs individually too.
Okay, so I've got one egg covered, and I kind of set it down so it's lengthwise this way,
this way, lengthwise, so that when I cut it, it looks extra pretty, very visceral guys,
just get down in there with your hands.
It's like one of those haunted houses where you are blindfolded and you have to guess
what it is that you're touching.
Surprise!
It's raw pork!
That would be horrible [laughs].
Okay, set that down lengthwise, and then just use whatever's left to sort of fill in the
little space, and make it look like a meatloaf guys.
You know what a meatloaf looks like right?
I posed the question on Facebook to what would other people put in a breakfast meatloaf,
and a lot of people said, a lot of people suggested bacon.
If you wanted to do that, that would be fine.
You could just lay a few raw strips of bacon over this before you cook it.
I don't know it seemed to me a little excessive with all of the pork, so I am just gonna bake
it like this, and then we'll pull it out and throw a little bit of a glaze on it before
we serve it, so I am gonna put it in the oven at 375 for about 30 minutes.
Okay, bye.
So it's baked for 30 minutes.
You can see lots of delicious stuff that's come out of it.
That's okay.
We're not gonna eat that part.
I am gonna make a little bit of glaze here with some maple syrup to touch.
We don't want it to be too sweet, and then some cock sauce because it'll look pretty.
Ohh, this is going to be beautiful.
Oh, my gosh.
Kind of a genius guys.
Awesome!
So, I am gonna just put this back in the oven for about five minutes just to get that glaze
all glazy.
Okay, so this looks exceptionally delicious, but it's also flaming hot, so I am gonna let
it cool here for maybe 10 minutes before I move it to my cutting board, and then slice
it up and show you what's inside.
I am starving.
Not really.
I am pretty hungry though.
Okay, it's been cooling about 10 minutes so it's ready to slice.
You can slice it as thick or as thin as you want.
Look at that, very, very beautiful and colorful, but let's get you a slice of egg inside so
you can see what that looks like, and it smells amazing.
There we go.
That's what I'm talking about.
See that.
Here, let me get this on a plate for ya.
Look at that.
Isn't that beautiful?
Guys it's so pretty.
It's almost like a rainbow if a rainbow were flecked brown and yellow and white and maybe
a little bit of green in there.
Okay, enough yammerin' let's do some eatin'.
Oh, my God, I am so excited.
Mmmmmm.
Oh, my gosh, you guys.
This is really incredible.
I seriously hope you try this.
It would be so good with some hashbrowns on the side, some home fries, something like
that.
Oh, wow!
I mean I even feel like it's kind of somewhat healthy.
There's vegetables in it right, and it's lean pork, so wow!
Oh, I am so impressed with myself.
Just a pat on the back, and that sriracha glaze is fantastic with the pork also, so
there you go, breakfast meatloaf.
I hope you try this.
I really do, and let me know what you think.
