Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to make a meat pie from pita bread with minced meat and cheese in the oven? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Choose fresh pita bread. It should have a pleasant smell. Take a good look so that there are no stains and signs of mold on it. Tomatoes can be replaced with ketchup, tomatoes in their own juice or tomato paste. Choose the proportions to your taste. I took frozen tomatoes and dill - it turned out delicious. Take cheese that melts well.
Step 2:
Peel the onion, rinse and cut into small cubes. So it will cook quickly and the filling will be more homogeneous. Transfer the onion to a frying pan heated over medium heat with a small amount of vegetable oil. Fry over high heat until golden brown.
Step 3:
Then add the minced meat to the onion and continue to fry, stirring constantly so that the minced meat pieces do not stick together.
Step 4:
Fry until the minced meat changes pink to gray - you don't need to fry too much to make the filling juicy. Pepper and salt to taste, remove from the heat and cook until warm.
Step 5:
While the filling is cooling, prepare the pita bread. Unwrap the pita bread and spread it evenly with a thin layer of mayonnaise.
Step 6:
Wash tomatoes, remove the stalk and cut into rings. Evenly distribute the stuffing of minced meat with onions and tomatoes on the surface of the pita bread.
Step 7:
Grate the cheese on a coarse or medium grater. Leave half of the cheese for pouring (step 11). Remove the flaccid leaves from the dill, rinse and finely chop. Then spread the cheese and dill evenly over the pita bread.
Step 8:
Twist the pita bread along the long side with a roll. Do the same (steps 5,6 and 7) with the second pita bread.
Step 9:
Next, try on how it will be more convenient for you to put pita bread in a baking dish. I used a rectangular shape of about 20x30 cm with a side height of 5 cm. In height, I had a roll of pita bread, twisted lengthwise. And I cut each of the two rolls in half. Place the rolls in a greased form with vegetable oil.
Step 10:
Wash the eggs and wipe them with a dry towel. Whisk them until a light foam appears.
Step 11:
Add cheese and sour cream, mix well.
Step 12:
Pour the pita bread rolls with the resulting filling, distribute evenly.
Step 13:
Bake in a preheated oven to 200 degrees for about 15 minutes on the top-bottom mode until a golden crust appears. Choose the exact time and temperature according to your oven. If you want to decorate a pie like me, take it out of the oven 5 minutes before cooking and put vegetables on top, for example, tomatoes. Then return to the oven for a few more minutes.
Take the finished cake out of the oven and cool it a little - 10-15 minutes. Before serving, it can be decorated with fresh herbs.
It is better to prepare mayonnaise yourself. It will be tastier and healthier. See the interesting ones here
homemade mayonnaise recipes.
Also, as a dressing, you can use not only mayonnaise, but also sour cream or natural yogurt. They can be taken separately or mixed with mayonnaise in any proportion to your taste - this will reduce the calorie content of the dish.
Use oil with a high smoking temperature for frying! Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it.
Unrefined oils, with rare exceptions, have a low smoking point. There are a lot of unfiltered organic particles in them, which quickly begin to burn.
Refined oils are more resistant to heating, and their smoking point is higher. If you are going to cook food in the oven, on a frying pan or grill, make sure that you use oil with a high smoking point. The most common of the oils with a high smoking point: refined varieties of sunflower, olive and grape.
Keep in mind that everyone's ovens are different. The temperature and cooking time may differ from those specified in the recipe. To make any baked dish successful, use the useful information about the features of ovens !
