If you had been told earlier that you would be happy to eat stuffed bagels, then you would probably just laugh in his face - what kind of food is this ?!
However, with the onset of a crisis, many hostesses begin to look for recipes for inexpensive and mouth-watering dishes that can easily feed a large family and still be left “with one's own”!
Pasta and potatoes are already fed up and you want something tasty and economical, so you don’t need to be so categorical about bagels, maybe you will like them - just try them once prepared according to the recipe described below.
So, take the following ingredients for 4 servings:
- 1 bunch of big bagels;
- 400 g ground beef;
- 50 g of cheese;
- 1 chicken egg;
- 2 pinches of salt;
- 10 ml of vegetable oil to lubricate the form;
- 100 ml of water or milk.
It is best to choose large lean bagels - they are not very sweet to the taste and soak well in milk or water. They are sold almost everywhere, but not in packages or by weight, but already in a bundle. But if you don’t find bagels in a store or a supermarket, then small dryers are also well savored along with roasted minced meat!
In order that bagels do not become even harder, jammed in the oven, they must first be soaked. To do this, identify them in a bowl with water or milk - according to your taste, and leave to soak for about 10-15 minutes, making sure that their shell remains slightly firm.
At this time, break ground chicken meat and salt it. All mix until smooth. Choose pork or pork beef, because it contains more fat, which bagels absorb and become more juicy and tasty. If you decide to make mince at home, you can use any meat, even chicken or turkey meat, but be sure to add a piece of lard to it - for fat. For those who like spicy taste in meat dishes, it is recommended to add a few cloves of garlic, passed through a press, to mincemeat - mincemeat will only benefit from this ingredient! Also, do not be limited to these seasonings - you can add a little spicy herbs or fragrant spices in the stuffing.
Put soaked bagels on a baking sheet or greased parchment paper and fill them with minced meat to the top. Be sure to grease the baking sheet, as soaked bagels can stick to the baking sheet if you forget to grease! Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven at 180 ° C and bake for about 20 minutes, until the mince is completely baked.
While bagels are baked - grate cheese on a coarse grater. For such a dish, it is better to choose hard cheeses, as they keep their shape perfectly and melt perfectly when baking. Remove the bagel pan and sprinkle with grated cheese on top, trying not to go beyond the edges. Roast them in the oven for another 3-5 minutes until the cheese melts and reach for the baking sheet.
Serve this dish by all means hot, so that the soft, creamy taste of cheese resonates with the juiciness of minced meat and lean dough. Any side dish can be cooked for it - with such hot meat, everything is eaten as “excellent”, or you can simply serve with greens!
Calculating the cost of meals:
- 1 bunch of bagels - 30 rubles;
- 400 g of minced meat - 100 rubles;
- 1 egg - 5 rub .;
- 50 g of cheese - 15 rubles .;
- salt and oil - 5 rubles.
Total: 155 rubles.
At the same time you get a full-fledged meat dish, which is much more expensive in restaurants and it’s not a fact that it will be cooked much tastier than you are in your kitchen! Good appetite!
