Pork brisket with cheese and tomatoes in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 50 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake brisket with cheese in the oven? Prepare all the necessary products. You can use any part of the pork carcass (I used pork belly), but it must be chilled meat, because... When frozen, any product loses a significant part of its nutrients.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the brisket, dry it and cut it into pieces of any shape. These can be larger or smaller pieces - as you wish!

3. STEP 3

   

   Wash the tomatoes, remove the stems and cut into medium-thick slices.

4. STEP 4

   

   Peel the onion and cut into feathers.

5. STEP 5

   

   Mix everything chopped. Add chopped garlic. I put the clove through a press, but it is quite possible to grate it on a fine grater or simply chop it with a knife. If fresh garlic is unavailable, it can be replaced with garlic powder.

6. STEP 6

   

   Add sour cream. Sour cream can also be replaced with cream, natural yogurt or mayonnaise, which is much less desirable, because mayonnaise is not recommended to be subjected to heat treatment.

7. STEP 7

   

   Add some salt. At this stage, you can also add some of your favorite herbs or seasonings to the dish: ground hot pepper or paprika, suneli hops, Provençal herbs. Or maybe it will be chopped fresh parsley or dill, a sprig of thyme or rosemary.

8. STEP 8

   

   Prepare a heatproof baking dish. It is advisable that its sides be high enough - after all, during the cooking process, the meat will release juice and the dish will increase in volume and there is no need for the contents of the mold to spill over the edge.

9. STEP 9

   

   Pour the meat mixture into the pan.

10. STEP 10

    

    Carefully place tomato slices on top.

11. STEP 11

    

    Grate the cheese on a coarse grater and place on the tomatoes. Loosely - to prevent the foil from sticking to the cheese, cover the pan with foil. Place in an oven preheated to 180 degrees and bake until done, about 40 minutes. If you want a crust to appear on top, remove the foil 10 minutes before the end of cooking.

12. STEP 12

    

    Serve the dish immediately while it is hot. Bon appetit!

I liked the recipe, thanks to the author! A dish with sour cream sauce is not as fatty as with mayonnaise. The pork is soft and juicy. This option with canned mushrooms is also excellent, I recommend it!

I found the recipe through a product search, which is very helpful. I didn’t know what to cook with the brisket. And here is such a miracle dish, simple and quick, satisfying and flavorful. I cut the brisket into medium pieces, the tomatoes into slices, the onion into feathers, and grated the cheese coarsely. I tried to cook exactly according to the recipe. I combined everything with garlic and sour cream 15%. Apart from salt, I did not add any other spices. I wanted to feel exactly the taste of the brisket in sour cream) I chose Gaisin cheese, it melts perfectly and is very tasty. I put everything in layers in cocotte makers, did not cover it with foil and baked it in the oven for 40 minutes at 180 C, in the meantime I cut the salad for a side dish. The aroma during baking was amazing, we could barely wait) I immediately put the hot cocotte makers on the table and served them with vegetable salad. Pork brisket with cheese and tomatoes in the oven is a very tasty dish. The pieces of meat came out juicy and tender. The sour cream sauce complemented the brisket perfectly. The onions and garlic added flavor, the tomatoes added juiciness, and the cheese gave them a very tasty and crispy crust! Great recipe with pork belly! I recommend it to everyone! Thank you!
