Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.Grease and line a 1lb loaf tin. Cook theeggsin boiling water for 10 minutes. Drain under cold running water until they are cold. Peel and reserve to one side. In a large mixing bowl, combine all the other ingredients, mixing well with your hands to incorporate them.
- Arrange half of the beef mince mixture in the base of the loaf tin. Arrange the hard-boiled eggs side by side along the length of the tin. Cover with the rest of thebeefmixture and shape so that it is curved down over the eggs in an arc. Bake for 45-50 minutes until cooked, draining any excess moisture from the tin, halfway through cooking.
