Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°. Gently lower 6 eggs into a large saucepan of boiling salted water and cook 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl of ice water and let cool 2 minutes. Drain and carefully peel.

    Step 2

    Mix remaining 6 eggs in a large bowl with garlic, Parmesan, panko, butter, pickles, olives, raisins, vinegar, both paprikas, pepper, and 2 Tbsp. plus 
1½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or 4½ tsp. Morton salt, then mix in pork.

    Step 3

    Line two 9x5" loaf pans with a sheet of foil, leaving 3" overhang on long sides. Lightly coat with nonstick spray. Divide half of meat mixture between pans. Place 3 boiled eggs in a line down the center of each pan. Top with remaining meat mixture, packing tightly around eggs and making sure they are completely covered.

    Step 4

    Mix ketchup and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl and spread over both embutidos. Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into several places, avoiding eggs if possible, registers 155°, 55–70 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes.

    Step 5

    Transfer embutidos to a platter; slice.

    Step 6

    Do Ahead: Embutidos can be baked 4 days ahead. Let cool, cover and chill.
