Festive meatloaf with figs for Easter: it turns out to be very soft and juicy

Meat is always baked on the Easter table. It can be just a ham in spices or a ham roll. It is very tasty to use figs for the filling.

The idea of cooking a festive meatloaf with figs was published on the Instagram page of a food blogger with the nickname bouquet_of_bruschettas. It takes about an hour to bake.
