Stuffed meatballs in the oven - the basic principles of cooking
Many, even experienced housewives, do not know how to cook cutlets in the oven. Such cutlets are not fatty, but very juicy. When baking in the oven, they are covered with a delicious crust and baked evenly from all sides.
Grind the meat in a meat grinder or buy ready-made minced meat. To make the patties soft, they add a loaf soaked in milk. Juice will be served with chopped onion and some potatoes.
Crushed garlic, spices and herbs are placed in the minced meat. Add eggs and knead well with hands.
Cutlets are formed from minced meat and breaded in flour or breadcrumbs. They can be pre-fried in a pan or immediately spread on a baking sheet. Cutlets are baked at a temperature of 200ºС for about a quarter of an hour.
To diversify the dish, vegetables chopped in a meat grinder are added to the minced meat patties in the oven. You can also make a cake, put a piece of cheese or butter in the center and form a patty.
Remember that when cooking in the oven, the juiciness and roastiness of the patties can be adjusted using the cooking time and temperature.
