Also, zraza can simply be fried in vegetable oil, like ordinary cutlets, but in the oven, of course, it is healthier and not so fat. Zrazy is a great way to diversify the usual home menu, because in fact it is no more difficult to cook them than ordinary cutlets, but how beautiful - your loved ones will certainly appreciate. For zraz, they use various fillings - vegetables, mushrooms, liver, but today I chose quail eggs - in the section it turns out very cute, especially children like such cutlets and you can definitely feed your little animals! Any side dish will suit them, and fresh vegetables and herbs will complement dinner

How to make meat zrazes with egg and onions in the oven? Prepare the right ingredients. Meat for minced meat is suitable for any - pork, beef, chicken, lamb. You can even mix several types of meat - this will turn out to be even tastier. I only have pork. You can also take ready-made minced meat - as you are more familiar and comfortable. If your mince is frozen, defrost it first.

Rinse the meat well under running water and remove all unnecessary - veins, films. Dry and cut as you like - for a meat grinder. Peel the onions and garlic as well, wash, dry. Cut the onions into 4 parts. Soak the loaf of bread in milk in a separate bowl. Literally for a few seconds, then immediately take out the bread and squeeze slightly.

Pass pork, onions and garlic through a meat grinder. Usually I prefer to scroll the mince myself, and I buy the finished one only in extreme cases. It seems to me that in this form it is many times tastier. But, again, if time is expensive, it is easier to use purchased time.

Salt the minced meat to taste.

Add the ground black pepper.

Drive in the raw chicken egg.

Add the bread loaf to the mince, which we soaked beforehand. If desired, you can pass it through a meat grinder along with mince. I don't usually do that. Crush the moist bread with your hands.

Mix the mince well. It's better to do it with your hands. Then lightly beat it against the table surface to get rid of the excess air. After this procedure, the minced meat will become denser and will keep its shape well.

Now let's deal with the filling. I have these quail eggs. Cook for about 5 minutes, then chill and peel. For this recipe, I chose quail eggs - in my opinion, they look more interesting in the cut. But this is not important, you can take chicken eggs and cut them in half. Or finely chop the boiled eggs and mix them with the spring onions. Choose to your liking.

Prepare the breading - breadcrumbs. I mix them with dry spices and salt. You can try to do like me, or stop the choice on the same crackers. In my mixture, except for crumbs: paprika, dried garlic and black ground pepper.

Slightly wet your hands with water. Take a little mince about the size of a chicken egg. Roll into the ball, then make a recess in its center - as shown in the photo.

Put a whole quail egg, half chicken or mixed egg-onion filling in the resulting depression.

Roll each cutlet in breaded and transfer to a baking sheet greased with vegetable oil. You can make a baking sheet with baking paper - so definitely nothing will stick, and the baking sheet will not have to be washed then. Bake the zrazes in the oven until cooked at about 180 degrees for about half an hour. Determine the exact time and temperature by your oven.

Meat zrazes with egg and onions in the oven are ready.

But this is how the stars look in the section. Enjoy your meal!
