Meat nests with quail eggs in the oven

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   That's all the ingredients we'll need. Meat for this dish is suitable for any - pork, beef, chicken, any other or a mixture of different types of meat - it will be even tastier. I have pork today. You can also take ready-made minced meat - as you are more familiar and convenient

2. Step 2:

   

   The first step is to soak the loaf in milk and mash it with a fork

3. Step 3:

   

   We wash the meat well under running water, remove the veins, films and cut it as convenient for a meat grinder. Onions and garlic are also cleaned, washed, onions are cut into 4 parts

4. Step 4:

   

   Meat, onion and garlic are passed through a meat grinder. I prefer to scroll the minced meat myself - so I know exactly what it is made of and I'm sure of its freshness, because it's no secret that minced meat is a perishable product and many sellers go to all sorts of tricks to pass off a low-quality product as fresh

5. Step 5:

   

   Mince salt to taste

6. Step 6:

   

   Pepper

7. Step 7:

   

   Add some spices to taste - today I added some Italian herbs, they will give our dish an unusual Mediterranean flavor, you can also use your favorite spices

8. Step 8:

   

   Drive in the egg

9. Step 9:

   

   Add the loaf that we previously soaked. If desired, it can be passed through a meat grinder along with minced meat, I usually do not do this

11. Step 10:

    

    We mix the minced meat well, I usually do it with my hands and beat it a little on the table, so we get rid of excess air, it will become more dense and will keep its shape well

12. Step 11:

    

    Absolutely any kind of cheese for this dish is suitable - the one that you have available today - Russian, Dutch, suluguni, etc. there is no fundamental significance here, it is three on a large grater

13. Step 12:

    

    We lubricate the baking tray with vegetable oil, I took baking paper - so nothing will stick and the baking tray does not need to be washed for a long time (such a life hack in the kitchen). With our hands we form a ball of minced meat, and then we make a recess, getting a kind of nest

14. Step 13:

    

    In the inside of each nest we put a little grated cheese

15. Step 14:

    

    We drive 2 quail eggs into each nest. Of course, you can take one chicken egg, but then we first drive in the yolk, then carefully fill the remaining place with protein. But personally, in my opinion, with quail testicles it turns out more original

16. Step 15:

    

    Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 30-35 minutes so that the top of the egg does not dry out, you can cover the nests with foil

17. Step 16:

    

    Fragrant and beautiful meat nests are ready

18. Step 17:

    

    Bon appetit!
