- Preheat the oven to 250 C / Gas 9 and lightly grease a baking tray.
- Place the bread rolls into a bowl and pour over some warm water. Set aside to soak for a few minutes.
- In a small frying pan, heat oil and cook and stir the onion until soft. Add the parsley and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt, pepper and oregano.
- Squeeze the excess water out of the rolls and combine with the mince, onions and egg. Mix well and form into a loaf. Place meatloaf on the prepared baking tray.

I had mince I needed to use and old bread rolls - and hey presto, I turned them into a meatloaf that I cooked in a pyrex dish. It was a lot nicer than I expected and I'll be making it again. I particularly liked the idea of using water-soaked bread rolls rather than breadcrumbs and reckon these kept the loaf moist. - 11 May 2018
