Cutlets with tomato and cheese in the oven

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make cutlets with tomato and cheese in the oven? Prepare everything you need for cooking. Minced meat can be used from any kind of meat or made from cold cuts. To be sure of the quality of minced meat, I recommend cooking it yourself, at home. Wash the tomatoes. Peel the onion from the husk and rinse in cool water. Cheese can be used of any variety, but the main thing is that it can be easily grated.

2. Step 2:

   

   To prepare the cutlet mass, take a spacious bowl so that it is convenient to knead everything. The bowl can be plastic or glass. Cut the peeled onion into 3-4 pieces, pass through a meat grinder and add to the minced meat. If you use minced meat ready, then in order not to get a meat grinder, the onion can be finely chopped or grated.

3. Step 3:

   

   Then add egg, salt and spices to the minced meat bowl. As a spice, you can use ground pepper and dried herbs, such as dill, parsley, basil. Then add the mayonnaise, leaving a little to lubricate the cutlets.

4. Step 4:

   

   Mix all the cutlet mass well until smooth, so that all the ingredients are evenly mixed with each other. Then lift the minced meat with your hands and throw it on the bottom of the bowl. Repeat this moment several times. Why is this necessary? In order for the cutlet mass to become denser and the cutlets do not fall apart when baking.

5. Step 5:

   

   Prepare the baking dish. Cover the bottom of the mold with cooking paper or foil. From the cutlet mass, form small cutlets with your hands and press them flattened. Put these cutlets in the prepared form.

7. Step 6:

   

   Brush the surface of each cutlet with a little mayonnaise. This is necessary for the juiciness of the finished dish. Cut the tomatoes into circles and spread them on each cutlet.

8. Step 7:

   

   Then sprinkle liberally with grated cheese. Put the form with the cutlets in the oven, preheated to 190 degrees, for 30 minutes. Be guided by your oven.

9. Step 8:

   

   During baking, the meat will release juice, but it will evaporate in the oven. The cheese from the high temperature will melt and brown a little. The finished cutlets will become an appetizing, golden color.

10. Step 9:

    

    Serve these cutlets as an independent, hot dish. Bon appetit!
