  • Yield

    Makes 10 servings

Ingredients

2 pounds ground pork
1/2 pound ground chicken
6 ounces cooked chicken sausages (about 2 medium links, casings removed), chopped
1 tart apple (such as Granny Smith), peeled and grated
1/3 cup diced onion
1/3 cup bread crumbs
2/3 cup cream (or evaporated milk — any fat content is fine)
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 egg, plus 3 hard-boiled eggs

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.

    Step 2

    2. In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients but the hard-boiled eggs.

    Step 3

    3. Press half the mixture into the pan, then gently press in the hard-boiled eggs, end to end. Mold the remaining mixture on top.

    Step 4

    4. Cover with foil and bake until the juices run clear when you poke the loaf with a sharp knife, 1 1/2 hours.

    Step 5

    5. Remove from oven and let cool for 30 minutes. Take the loaf from the pan, let it cool completely, then wrap it well and chill overnight.
