Lentil loaf with cheese and eggs (not vegan)

[Guest guest]

I've been making this for 25 years. I just recently made some for my kids

birthday party and got several requests for the recipe which is why I typed

it into the computer. Thought those on this list might enjoy it to.

Lentil Loaf*

 

1/2 lb. grated chedder cheese (2 cups packed)

2 cups cooked lentils, slightly mashed (3/4 to 1 cup raw, cooked in 1.5 to 2

cups water)

1 small onion, finely chopped (I pre-fry it until soft)

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp ground pepper

1/4 tsp thyme (I use a heaping tsp)

1 cup soft bread crumbs (I used dry breadcrumbs which I bought from Future

bakery at the market)

1 egg, beaten

1 Tbsp softened butter (I used salted because that's what I had, you could

also probably add a little oil)

 

Mix everything together.

Bake in a greased loaf pan at 350 degrees F. for 45 minutes.

Serve with Tomato sauce.
