Recipe instructions

Step 1

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. Look carefully to make sure there are no stains or signs of mold. Tomatoes can be replaced with ketchup, tomatoes in their own juice or tomato paste. Choose proportions to suit your taste. I took frozen tomatoes and dill — it turned out delicious. Choose cheese that melts well.

Step 2

Step 2
Peel the onion, rinse and cut into small cubes. This way it will cook quickly and the filling will be more uniform. Transfer the onion to a frying pan preheated over medium heat with a small amount of vegetable oil. Fry over high heat until golden brown.

Step 3

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 to each other.

Step 4

Step 4
Fry until the minced meat changes color from pink to gray — you don’t need to fry too much for the filling to be juicy. Season with pepper and salt to taste, remove from heat and cool until warm.

Step 5

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

Step 6
Wash the tomatoes, remove the stem and cut into rings. Evenly distribute the minced meat filling with onions and tomatoes over the surface of the pita bread.

Step 7

Step 7
Grate the cheese on a coarse or medium grater. Leave half the cheese for filling (step 11). Remove the wilted leaves from the dill, rinse and finely chop. Then spread the cheese and dill evenly over the pita bread.

Step 8

Step 8
Roll the pita bread along the long side into a roll. Do the same (steps 5,6 and 7) with the second pita bread.

Step 9

Step 9
Next, try on how it will be more convenient for you to place the pita bread in a baking dish. I used a rectangular shape of approximately 20x30 cm with a side height of 5 cm. The height fit a lavash roll, rolled lengthwise. And I cut each of the two rolls in half. Place the rolls in a pan greased with vegetable oil.

Step 10

Step 10
Wash the eggs and wipe with a dry towel. Beat them until light foam appears.

Step 11

Step 11
Add cheese and sour cream, mix well.

Step 12

Step 12
Fill the lavash rolls with the resulting filling and distribute evenly.

Step 13

Step 13
Bake in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for about 15 minutes on top-bottom mode until golden brown. Select the exact time and temperature according to your oven. If you want to decorate the pie like I did, 5 minutes before it’s ready, remove it from the oven and place vegetables, such as tomatoes, on top. Then return to the oven for a few more minutes.
