Meat nests with cheese and tomatoes

Minced meat can be prepared at home, but for this you need to buy fresh meat.

When choosing a product, you should definitely look at its appearance: the meat should not be weathered.

And it should not have a sour or other unpleasant odor.

We stock up on ingredients for a culinary masterpiece:

• minced beef – 650 g;
• fresh tomatoes – 200 g;
• chicken eggs – 2 pcs.;
• onions – 150 g;
• “Russian” cheese – 130 g;
• sour cream – 4 tbsp. l.;
• salt, spices - at your discretion.

We prepare the second dish according to the algorithm:

1. Add chopped onion, spices, one egg, half sour cream to the minced meat. Mix the mass.
2. Rinse the tomatoes and cut into circles.
3. Grate the cheese, beat in the egg, add the remaining sour cream and a little salt. Mix the cheese mixture.
4. We form balls from the minced meat and make indentations inside them. Their shape should resemble “nests”.
5. We fill the semi-finished meat product with cheese mass, and put a slice of tomato on top.
6. We bake the meat preparations in the oven for 45 minutes at a temperature of 200 °C, do not forget to grease the metal sheet with vegetable oil in advance.

To make the cutlets juicy and fluffy, chefs recommend turning the meat through a fine wire rack, preferably 2-3 times. And it is better to add yesterday’s bread to the minced meat, since fresh bread will not give the desired consistency.

Step 4 - crush the loaf and add milk to it.

Take a deep bowl and crush half a loaf into small pieces. Then add milk there and let it brew. While the mixture sits for one minute, we will drink a glass of whiskey to make the cooking more interesting.

Soak the finely chopped loaf in milk.

Step 5 - mix the milk loaf

So the mixture is ready, but we need to bring it to a homogeneous mass. Therefore, we are not afraid to get our hands dirty; we take and knead everything with our hands until it becomes a liquid, homogeneous mass.

We are not afraid to get our hands dirty and mix the loaf.

We mix everything carefully with our hands and watch how everything smoothly turns into homemade minced meat.
