Today for dinner I prepared swallow's nest cutlets in the oven according to this recipe. I took store-bought minced chicken. In the absence of tomatoes, I added onions according to the author’s advice. In addition to parsley, eggs, garlic, salt and pepper, I also added chicken seasoning to the minced meat. The minced meat turned out good. I placed minced meat in rings of bell peppers, brushed them with 25% fat sour cream, put onions on top and sprinkled with grated cheese. I baked the dish in a mold instead of a baking sheet in the oven for half an hour. The nests came out amazing. The bell pepper is juicy, the minced meat is not dry at all, the sour cream added juiciness to the cutlets, the onion was well baked, and the cheese turned into a crispy crust. Amazing cutlets in a new way. The dish is not at all greasy. It turned out appetizing, aromatic and incredibly tasty! Many thanks to the author!

Maria, I’ll definitely try to make such an interesting non-standard recipe!!! I really liked that the cutlets are not fried, but baked in the oven. And you’re right about Odessa restaurants, they have very original dishes with creative names; all of this, of course, is primarily aimed at tourists)))

Ira, I was thinking about cheese, I wanted to ask Maria what kind she took, it was round in shape, I was just curious. Maybe I could try a cheese like Mozzarella? Or maybe reduce the baking time with cheese? Although I'm sure it didn't affect the taste. Well, the cutlets turned out to be very tasty!!! And such an interesting recipe

I made these wonderful cutlets over the weekend!!! They turned out VERY tasty, juicy and tender!!! I added grated carrots to the minced meat and put a very thin layer of onion under the tomato. The onions were cooked well and gave flavor to the cutlets. I used Goudamer cheese, I put a thin small piece, I was afraid that it would spread. On the contrary, my cheese didn’t melt well))) Next time I’ll put wider pieces. Maria, thank you very much for the wonderful recipe, I will definitely make it again))) Ira, it’s definitely worth making, it turns out VERY TASTY and original))) Of course, I’m attaching a photo report
