For a richer flavor, sauté the chopped onion in a bit of olive oil before adding it to the mixture. Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices to customize the flavor profile. Smoked paprika or Italian seasoning would be great additions. If you prefer a vegan version, substitute the eggs with flax eggs (1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed meal mixed with 3 tablespoons of water per egg) and ensure your bread crumbs are vegan-friendly. Allow the meatloaf to cool slightly before slicing and serving for easier handling.
