• Vegetable cooking spray
• 1/2 cup white bread crumbs

• 2 crushed garlic cloves (optional)
• 2 lightly beaten eggs at room temperature
• 2 tbsp. milk

Preparation:

1. Position a rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 190°C.
   
   Spray a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
   
   In a large bowl, combine the bread crumbs, parsley, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic (if using), eggs, milk, feta cheese, salt, and pepper. Add the ground beef and mix gently, being careful not to overmix.
