Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a loaf pan.
In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and milk. Let this mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the breadcrumbs to absorb the milk, forming a panade.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, soaked breadcrumbs, egg, onion, garlic, parsley, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Use your hands or a wooden spoon to mix until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.
Shape the meat mixture into a loaf shape on the prepared baking sheet, or press it evenly into the loaf pan.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar to make the glaze.
Brush half of the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf. Reserve the remaining glaze for later.
Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 50 minutes. Remove it from the oven and brush the top with the remaining glaze.
Return the meatloaf to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reads 160°F (71°C) using a meat thermometer.
Let the meatloaf rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. This helps retain its juices and makes slicing easier.
Serve your bistro meatloaf with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or steamed green beans, for a complete meal.
