Cheesy minced cutlets are a cozy and hearty dish of Russian cuisine that combines the tenderness of chicken meat with the aroma of melted cheese. Historically, these cutlets became popular due to their simplicity and the availability of ingredients, as minced meat allows for retaining the juiciness without complex processing. The taste of the cutlets is rich and intense: garlic adds spiciness, onion contributes sweet juiciness, and cheese gives a velvety texture. They can be served with mashed potatoes, fresh vegetables, or crispy bread. They are perfect for both family dinners and festive tables. The simplicity of preparation makes them a favorite choice for those who appreciate quick yet delicious culinary solutions.
