How to make cutlets with tomato and cheese in the oven? Prepare everything you need to prepare. Minced meat can be used from any type of meat or made from assorted meat. To be sure of the quality of mince, I recommend making it yourself, at home. Wash the tomatoes. Peel the onions and rinse in cool water. Cheese can be used of any variety, but the main thing is that it can be easily grated.

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 onions into 3-4 parts, pass through a meat grinder and add to the minced meat. If you use ready-made mince, then in order not to get the meat grinder out, the onions can be finely chopped or grated.

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

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

Prepare the baking dish. Cover the bottom of the mold with culinary paper, Teflon sheet or foil. It is better to choose paper with a silicone coating or lubricate ordinary paper for baking with vegetable oil so that the cutlets do not burn. Form small cutlets from the cutlet mass with your hands and press them, making them flattened. Put such cutlets in a prepared form.

Brush the surface of each cutlet with mayonnaise a little. This is necessary for the juiciness of the finished dish. Cut the tomatoes into mugs and arrange into each cutlet.

Then sprinkle generously with the cheese, grated. Place the cutlet tin in the oven, warmed to 190 degrees, for 30 minutes. Navigate your oven.

During baking, the meat will let juice, but it will evaporate in the oven. The cheese from the high temperature will melt and brown a little. Ready-made cutlets will become appetising, golden color.

Serve cutlets such as a stand-alone, hot dish. Enjoy your meal!
