Instructions
Preparing the Filling
- Prepare the Mushrooms: Finely chop the mushrooms. Heat 10 ml of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and sauté until tender. Season with 5 g of salt and 10 ml of lemon juice. Set aside to cool.
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed mushrooms, grated mozzarella, chopped boiled eggs, 30 g of mayonnaise, 4 g of black pepper, and 30 g of melted cheese. Mix until well combined.
Preparing the Meat Rolls
- Prepare the Chicken: Slice the chicken breasts into thin fillets. Pound them gently to an even thickness for easy rolling.
- Fill the Chicken: Place a portion of the filling onto each chicken fillet. Roll up tightly and secure with toothpicks if necessary.
- Coat the Rolls: In separate bowls, whisk the eggs and place the flour. Dip each chicken roll first in the flour, then in the beaten eggs, ensuring they are well-coated.
- Fry the Rolls: Heat 50 ml of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the rolls for about 10 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Preparing the Salad
- Prepare the Potatoes: Boil the potatoes until tender. Let them cool, then chop into small cubes.
- Mix the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the boiled potatoes, 100 g of mayonnaise, 30 g of mustard, 10 ml of lemon juice, finely chopped red onion, celery, parsley, dark olives, 4 g of sugar, and 8 g of salt. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

Tips and Variations
- Cheese Variations: Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese such as cheddar or feta for the filling.
- Herb Additions: Add fresh herbs like dill or thyme to the filling for an extra burst of flavor.
- Vegetarian Option: Use large portobello mushrooms or eggplant slices instead of chicken for a vegetarian version.
