Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make cutlets with tomato and cheese in the oven? To prepare, prepare everything you need. Minced meat can be used from any type of meat or made from cold cuts. To be sure of the quality of the minced meat, I recommend preparing it yourself, at home. Wash the tomatoes. Peel the onion and rinse in cool water. You can use any type of cheese, but the main thing is that it can be easily grated.

Step 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 parts, pass through a meat grinder and add to the minced meat. If you use ready-made minced meat, then in order not to take out the meat grinder, the onion can be finely chopped or grated.

Step 3

Step 3
Then add the egg, salt and spices to the bowl with the minced meat. As a spice, you can use ground pepper and dried herbs such as dill, parsley, basil. Then add mayonnaise, leaving a little for greasing the cutlets.

Step 4

Step 4
Mix the entire cutlet mass well until smooth so that all ingredients are evenly mixed with each other. Then use your hands to lift the minced meat and drop it into the bottom of the bowl. Repeat this point several times. Why is this necessary? In order for the cutlet mass to become denser and the cutlets not to fall apart during baking.

Step 5

Step 5
Prepare a baking dish. Line the bottom of the pan with cooking paper, Teflon sheet or foil. It is better to choose silicone-coated paper or grease regular baking paper with vegetable oil to prevent the cutlets from burning. Using your hands, form small cutlets from the cutlet mixture and press them down, making them flattened. Place these cutlets in the prepared pan.

Step 6

Step 6
Lightly grease the surface of each cutlet with mayonnaise. This is necessary for the juiciness of the finished dish. Cut the tomatoes into circles and place on each cutlet.

Step 7

Step 7
Then sprinkle generously with grated cheese. Place the pan with cutlets in the oven, preheated to 190 degrees, for 30 minutes. Be guided by your oven.

Step 8

Step 8
During baking, the meat will release juice, but it will evaporate in the oven. The high temperature will melt the cheese and brown a little. The finished cutlets will become an appetizing, golden color.

Step 9

Step 9
Serve these cutlets as an independent, hot dish. Bon appetit!
