How to cook?
First you need to grate 150 g of hard cheese. To do this, it is better to use a fine grater. Ready cheese is laid aside in a separate plate. Then you need to grate the eggs using a coarse grater.
To mix the ingredients you need to take a large plate. It contains cheese, eggs and mayonnaise. Here you also need to squeeze 1 clove of garlic. Gently mixing, add salt and black pepper to the mixture to taste. For a few minutes, this plate should be refrigerated so that the legs of the fly agaric appetizer from the tomatoes do not fall apart during their formation.
At this time, 2 cucumbers need to be cut into small rings. Cherry tomatoes (12 pieces) are cut in half. For cooking, it is better to use elastic, almost ripened vegetables. Thus, the "mushrooms" will keep their shape well.
Dish formation
Before you start making an Amanita snack for the holiday table, you need to prepare a small plate with clean water and a teaspoon. A ring of cucumber is placed on a cutting board. Then a teaspoon must be dipped in a plate with water. This is done so that the mixture does not stick and does not crumble during the formation of the stalk.
A teaspoon of cheese is gained and transferred to the hand. They can also be wetted in advance a little. Then the fly agaric leg is formed. It is mounted on a cucumber ring.
In this way, it is necessary to create forms from the entire cheese mass. After completing this process, you need to place the halves of cherry tomatoes on all the legs, gently pressing them so that they hold well.
A cornet is formed from parchment and mayonnaise is squeezed onto tomatoes in small dots. As a result, patterns typical of real fly agarics are formed on hats.
Now you can start the presentation. Lettuce leaves, which will imitate green juicy grass, are laid out on a flat large dish. All formed fly agarics are neatly exposed to it.
Features of the recipe and the secrets of its preparation
There are several nuances using which the fly agaric snack to the festive table can be made even tastier and more original. First of all, you need to use hard cheese with a salty taste.
Also, before putting lettuce leaves on a dish, they must be washed and dried well on paper towels. Otherwise, sand or earth may remain in them, and when you eat the fly agaric snack, there will be an unpleasant crunch on your teeth. And also in the mixture for the preparation of mushroom legs, you can add 100 g finely chopped ham.
And the main secret is the use of homemade mayonnaise. Thus, the dish will turn out useful and will have a bright rich taste. The recipe for its preparation is quite simple and does not require a lot of time for its implementation.
