Minced meat nests with eggs in the oven, basic cooking principles

When preparing nests, eggs are added to the minced meat or filling. Minced meat can be beef, pork, chicken or mixed. It is preferable to cook it yourself from fresh meat. This way you will be confident in the quality of the product. To make the minced meat juicy, add finely chopped onion or lard. Eggs, starch or flour are used as a binder. A roll or white bread soaked in milk is also added to the minced meat. Season everything with salt and spices.

The meat mass is divided into equal pieces, they are formed into round cutlets and placed on a baking sheet covered with parchment. Make a hole in the center and place in a preheated oven for a few minutes. Then crack an egg into each well and bake for another five minutes until the whites are set. At the end, sprinkle everything with cheese and cook for a couple more minutes.

The filling for nests of minced meat with eggs in the oven can be different. It is prepared from vegetables, mushrooms, cheese, etc.

Placing cutlets on a baking sheet

To prevent the minced meat from sticking to your hands, first wet your hands in water or vegetable oil. Whatever is more convenient for you. Both options will do. We begin to form nest cutlets. Divide the minced meat into equal parts. This makes eighteen even pieces. The picture shows only part of the cutlets. If you take a larger baking sheet, everything will fit. Grease a baking sheet with vegetable oil. It is better to cover a metal one with baking paper (parchment). Place the cutlets tightly next to each other on a baking sheet. They will become smaller as they bake, but if packed more tightly they will be juicy. The cutlets should not be small. We make a hole in them to put the tomatoes there. The products got their name cutlets-nests because they really look very much like a bird’s nest.

In our case, nest cutlets with a spicy filling. Place tomatoes mixed with cream inside the cutlets, add a little salt and pepper on top. Sprinkle generously with grated mozzarella on top of the tomatoes. A little ground nutmeg on top of grated cheese will give the cutlets a piquant flavor.

The cutlets are ready for baking.

Baskets of minced meat with eggs are perfect for breakfast or with your favorite side dish as a main hot dish. To add zest to the dish, we supplement the minced meat with aromatic crushed coriander seeds. So, let's get ready! And our step-by-step recipe with photos will help.

Servings: 3.
Cooking time: 35 minutes.

Ingredients:

Homemade minced chicken – 300 grams;

Chicken eggs (large) – 4 pieces;

Onions (medium) – 0.5 pieces;

Garlic – 2 cloves;

Breadcrumbs - 5 tablespoons;

Coriander seeds – 0.5 teaspoon;

Sunflower oil – 1 tablespoon;

Ground black pepper;

Preparation:

1. If the chicken is minced without onions and garlic, add homemade minced chicken with finely chopped onions and garlic. Mix the minced meat well and beat lightly. When we beat the minced meat, moisture gets into the fibers of the meat and when frying or baking in the oven, products made from such meat will always turn out tender and juicy.

2. Break a chicken egg.

3. Sprinkle everything with coriander seeds crushed in a mortar, ground black pepper and salt. At this stage, the workpiece can be seasoned with any spices.

4. Add breadcrumbs. You can also make homemade crackers. Cut white bread or a roll into cubes, dry on a plate in the microwave (cook for 30 seconds until crispy) or in the oven on a baking sheet.

5. Mix the meat mixture, divide it into 3 equal parts and shape it into balls.

6. Line the baking sheet with a piece of foil or baking paper (you can simply use a non-stick baking tray) and grease it with oil. We place the prepared minced meat balls at a distance from each other and form them so that there is a depression in the middle and sides on the sides.

7. Break the eggs into the recesses one at a time so that the yolk is not damaged. The protein should not leak out through the sides. After baking, the dish will look very bright and beautiful.

8. Sprinkle eggs with ground pepper and salt. Place the meat baskets with eggs in the oven, preheated to 220 degrees, and bake for about 20 minutes. As soon as the white and yolk become firm, immediately remove the dish from the oven.

9. An original, tasty and very beautiful dish for flights of minced meat nests and eggs in the oven transfer to a plate with a vegetable salad or just chopped vegetables and serve for breakfast with crispy fresh bread. If we serve the dish as the main dish, then we complement it with a hot side dish and serve. Mashed peas or potatoes are perfect as a side dish.

Using this principle, meat baskets can be prepared with quail eggs. For one serving we take 3 eggs.

The dish can be prepared not only in the oven, but also on the stove in a frying pan. Pour oil into the pan, form baskets, break the eggs, cover and cook over low heat until the eggs harden.

Ground coriander seeds can be replaced with equally aromatic suneli hops, seasoning for minced meat, dried basil or rosemary.

Hello, dear friends! Today we have a wonderful alternative to the already familiar cutlets or. These are meat nests made from minced meat, which are no more difficult to prepare.

Why are they called that? Because they are made in the shape of a bird's house. And inside they put a delicious filling, which is covered with cheese on top. This dish is suitable for an everyday lunch table or dinner, and will look great on a holiday table as a meat snack.

They are prepared in the oven without pre-frying. They turn out very juicy, filling and incredibly tasty. And I’ll tell you what to put inside as a filling in my selection of recipes below.

What kind of minced meat should I use to prepare this dish? Yes, the same as you use for cutlets, depending on your preferences. Any kind will do: beef, pork, chicken or mixed. And before you start forming nests, it is advisable to beat it off.

Take the meat mass and lift it 20-30 cm above the surface of the dish or table (the surface can be greased with a little vegetable oil to prevent it from sticking). Then throw it down with force. This needs to be done several times, but not less than 10.

Why do this? In order for the mass to become more homogeneous and plastic. All mixed products will “stick together” better this way. Now let's start learning the recipes.

Let's start with a fairly simple recipe with mushroom filling. Here I use minced chicken, but it is not necessary. Take any one you wish. To improve the taste, I use ground black pepper and a little curry as spices. You can also add any dried herbs there.

Make a wide indentation in the middle of each cake. Spread the fried mushroom and onion filling evenly into the indentations. Spread with sour cream and sprinkle generously with cheese.

4. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and place the mold with our dish there. Bake for 40 minutes. Then take it out and let it sit for a little while so that the melted cheese cools and binds. The nests turn out very tasty and aromatic. They look beautiful.
