Yield Makes 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

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

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients but the hard-boiled eggs.
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.
4. Cover with foil and bake until the juices run clear when you poke the loaf with a sharp knife, 1 1/2 hours.
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.
