Peel hard boiled eggs. Shape meat mixture into loaf while placing eggs in center.

""This meat loaf is one of our favorites. We have served it many times for visiting guests at the winery and we love to have it at home. The egg center adds a special flair on the plate and on your palate. Of course, we use fresh organic eggs with brightly colored yolks from our flock of Black Australorp and Americana hens. And, the molasses-based glaze is my ""secret."" The Highland beef provides rich flavors that are complemented beautifully by the LMR Cabernet Sauvignon. Best of all, the leftovers make great sandwiches."" - Laddie
