Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • Minced meat: 500-600 g beef, pork, or a mix of both
  • Chicken eggs: 3 pcs
  • Hard cheese: 150-200 g cheddar, mozzarella, or gouda
  • Salt: To taste
  • Pepper: To taste
  • Flour: 2-4 tbsp
  • Milk: ½ cup approximately 125 ml

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prepare the Minced Meat: Place the minced meat in a mixing bowl. You can use beef, pork, or a combination of the two, depending on your preference. Beef will give a richer flavor, while pork will make the patties juicier.
  2. Add salt and pepper to the minced meat according to your taste. Mix well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
  3. Grate the Cheese: Take your preferred hard cheese (cheddar, gouda, or mozzarella works great for this recipe) and grate it. The cheese should be in small pieces so that it melts easily inside the patty.
  4. Prepare the Egg and Milk Mixture: Crack two eggs into a bowl and whisk them. Add half a cup of milk and continue whisking until you have a smooth mixture. This will serve as the liquid base for the patties, adding moisture and flavor.
  5. Mix the Meat with the Egg and Milk: Pour the egg and milk mixture into the minced meat. Mix well until everything is combined. This step will help make the patties soft and juicy.
  6. Add Flour: Gradually add 2-4 tablespoons of flour to the meat mixture. The flour will help bind the ingredients together. Make sure not to add too much, as it can make the patties dense and heavy. The mixture should have a smooth and slightly sticky texture.
  7. Form the Patties: Divide the meat mixture into equal portions (about the size of a golf ball or slightly larger). Flatten each portion in your hand to form a small patty.
  8. Place a small amount of grated cheese in the center of each patty, then fold the meat around the cheese, ensuring it is completely sealed inside. This will prevent the cheese from leaking out during cooking.
  9. Prepare the Coating: Crack the remaining egg into a separate bowl and beat it. This will be used to coat the patties.
  10. Lightly coat each patty in flour, then dip it into the beaten egg. This will help create a crispy outer layer when frying.
  11. Cook the Patties: Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add a little oil. Once the oil is hot, place the patties into the pan. Fry each patty for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and fully cooked through.
  12. Alternatively, you can bake the patties in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  13. Serve: Serve the cheese-stuffed patties hot with a side of mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
