Ingredients
- Meatloaf Cordon Bleu:
- 2 pounds ground beef 85% lean
- ½ cup chopped mushrooms
- ½ cup parmesan cheese, shredded
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 large eggs beaten
- ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 4 ounces thinly sliced cooked ham
- 4 ounces provolone cheese, sliced
- Breading:
- ½ cup powdered Parmesan cheese (or more pork panko if dairy free)
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup pork panko or crushed pork rinds
- 4¾-inch-thick slices cold leftover keto meatloaf
- Duck fat spray
Instructions
- Meatloaf Cordon Bleu:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- In a medium bowl, mix together the ground beef, Parmesan, mushrooms, eggs, and onion. Season with garlic powder, salt and pepper. Pat the meat mixture out onto a piece of waxed paper, and flatten to ½ inch thick.
- Lay slices of ham onto the flattened meat, and top with slices of cheese. Pick up the edge of the waxed paper to roll the flattened meat up into a log. Remove waxed paper, seal the ends and seam, and place the loaf into a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
- Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the loaf is no longer pink inside.
- Fried Meatloaf:
- Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees F.
- Set three wide, shallow dishes (such as pie plates) in a row on the counter. Put the powdered Parmesan in the first dish. Crack the egg into the second dish and beat it lightly with a fork. Put the pork panko or crushed pork rinds in the third dish.
- Working with one slice at a time, dredge the meatloaf first in the powdered Parmesan and then in the egg, coating it on all sides and shaking gently after each dip to knock off the excess. Lay the meatloaf in the pork panko, scatter some crumbs on top of the slice, and press gently to adhere. Flip and repeat once or twice with the crumbs to coat really well; be sure to get the edges as well. As you finish each slice, set it on a tray.
- Spray the coated slices of meatloaf with duck fat spray. Place slices into the air fryer 8 minutes, flipping with a spatula after 4 minutes or until slices are golden brown. Serve hot.
