Mix Bread, Cream & Eggs ("Panade")

1. Combine milk, bread and eggs to form a paste. Season with salt and pepper and set aside

3. Add red wine and simmer 3-4 minutes, or until reduced wine is evaporated
4. Add rosemary, parsley, & chives. Toss to combine, then set aside to cool

3. Season with salt & pepper and mix thoroughly
4. Transfer to a standard loaf pan and top with ketchup, spreading evenly
5. Cover & bake until cooked through, about an hour
6. Allow to rest in pan until cool enough to slice
7. Slice & serve with sides of choice (Michael suggests mashed potatoes and roasted veggies)
