What our housewives do not invent to pamper their home with delicious and original dishes! And they manage to come up with something that is both tasty, beautiful, and quickly cooked. One of such ingenious inventions is a bagel with minced meat. An ideal appetizer that does not require much labor, dispenses with rare and expensive products, cooks quickly and at the same time is simply delicious in taste.
Drying selection
So that the bagel with minced meat does not bother eaters with taste contrasts, you need to choose drying from unsweetened varieties. "School" will be very appropriate. If in the surrounding stores there are only sweetened bagels, soak them not in milk, but in water - the sweetness will noticeably decrease.
It is more convenient to take the dryer round, but not elongated. However, oval bagels can be put into business, just when they are eaten they can break.
What is needed
A third of a kilogram of drying will need a little less than a pound of minced meat. It is better to use mixed, from beef and pork: with chicken bagel with minced meat will turn out to be a little dry. Very approved by tasters turkey minced meat appetizer. Be sure to grind the onion into the filling; some housewives also add chopped dill. Of seasonings - only salt with pepper, especially if your bagels are sweet. Do not aggravate taste contrasts.
In addition to the stuffing, you will also need an egg and vegetable oil to fry the bagels with minced meat in a pan. If you wish, you can add another gram of two-hundred grated hard cheese to the list of ingredients, then your dish will approach the “ideal” mark.
Stuffed bagels in the oven: recipe and photo
The meat is run twice through a meat grinder with onion, salted and peppered, beaten out, as is done in the preparation of cutlets.
A little milk is heated, drying is steeped in it. They should not be left in the liquid for a long time - they will turn sour to a state of porridge, in addition, a too wet bagel with minced meat will fall apart when frying. Just a minute or two on each side - and the dryer can be removed from milk.
A ball of about the same diameter as a hole in a bagel rolls from the minced meat. It is laid in the hole and pressed slightly so that it does not fall out.
In the bowl, beat the egg (slightly, not up to the foam) with the addition of a few grains of salt. Bagel with minced meat dipped in batter and sent to the pan. Fry it on both sides until the filling is ready.
In principle, you can stop there, the snack is already very tasty and appetizing. However, if you want to achieve perfection, you can work a little more: shift the stuffed dryers onto a baking sheet and fill them with cheese. After holding for 10-15 minutes bagels with minced meat in the oven (photo in the article), you can call the hungry for a test. However, the scents in the apartment are such that your family must have already gathered impatiently in the kitchen.
Fans of simplifications can exclude the step with frying, and immediately put the drying on the oven sheet and put it in the oven. However, note: this bagel with minced meat will turn out softer. If you appreciate crisps, it’s better to fry the dish first.
The appetizer is tasty and hot, and cooled. Any side dish can be served with it, from cereals and pasta to vegetables - both in the form of salads and in the form of stews. No one will request a meat component from you; delicious dryers will be enough.
Fantasy flight
After your family appreciates an unexpected dish, you can try experimenting with it. One of the most successful ideas is to finely chop the mushrooms and add them to the minced meat. You can pre-fry them a little with onions to remove excess fluid.
No less interesting is the construction of "turrets." The simplest one is to put a circle of tomato on each dryer before sending it into the oven, and only then sprinkle with cheese. In the vegetable season, you can supplement the design with an eggplant plate or a ring of sweet pepper.
