Don’t Forget the Eggs: Spicy Olive Stuffed Meatloaf

Why the strange title you may be wondering? Well, let me tell you about how this title and story unfolded.

A few weeks ago when preparing a special meatloaf last minute for a weekday dinner and therefore being in haste, I’m sure you can guess what happened. It’s one of the worst nightmares for a chef, novice or seasoned, and that’s to leave out an essential ingredient—and so yes I left out the eggs or any type of binder in the meatloaf.

While I’m not the most comfortable confessing my error, I’m also not embarrassed to share my experiences in the kitchen and show that we all make mistakes and I dare to say especially in the kitchen.

I do believe however this type of accidental omission to be rare though when we are reading and following recipes that are right before our very eyes.

However, while creating this seasoned, delicious and savory meatloaf recipe, I am beyond thrilled to say that I didn’t forget the eggs or any other ingredients that would help bind and keep this meat all together as well as moist—my Spicy Olive Stuffed Meatloaf.

Hot out of the oven.
