Cooking method
Pita bread with mushrooms, eggs, cheese and herbs is prepared very simply, without heat treatment and baking. This option is suitable for those who have absolutely no time for cooking.
Lay out a sheet of pita bread and grease it with a thin layer of mayonnaise, then sprinkle with finely chopped greens. Top with cream cheese, preferably chopped on a fine grater, and grease this layer with mayonnaise. The next layer is champignons. They need to be finely chopped and mixed with mayonnaise, then sprinkled with cheese. The final layer is eggs, cut into large cubes. Crush them, then grease with mayonnaise.
Now you need to roll the pita roll as tight as possible. It is necessary to act carefully, but quickly, so that the cake does not have time to soften. Ready roll of pita bread with mushrooms and cream cheese should be covered with cling film and sent to the refrigerator for 20 minutes. Cut it with a thin, sharp knife into pieces. Their width should be at least two centimeters. This is necessary so that the filling is evenly distributed and does not fall out of portioned pieces.
Cooking secrets
- To ensure that all layers are evenly soaked with mayonnaise, mix each ingredient with it separately, and then apply the finished mixture to a sheet of pita bread.
- So that when slicing pita bread does not move out of the filling, fix it with toothpicks: prick them in several places, and remove after slicing.
- In the oven, pita bread with mushrooms and cheese can “leak”. To avoid this, limit the amount of mayonnaise and fix the edges of the roll with toothpicks moistened with water.
- If you want the roll to turn out low-calorie, replace regular mayonnaise with lean one. And in order to make its taste more intense, just add a drop of soy sauce and a little favorite seasoning to the sauce.
- Instead of mushrooms, you can take any other mushrooms, boil them and also fry with onions. It is advisable to grind forest mushrooms after cooking with a blender so that their consistency becomes softer and more uniform.
