Sauté the onion, celery, carrot, and garlic in oil (adding the garlic in at the last minute).
Combine lentils, sautéed vegetables, half of the cheese, bread crumbs, egg, and seasonings.
Bake in a greased loaf pan at 350 degrees for a total of 50 minutes sprinkling the other half of the cheese on top about halfway through.
