Cutlets with mozzarella from two types of minced meat

2 servings

25 minutes

Mozzarella cutlets made from two types of minced meat are a refined dish of Italian cuisine that combines the richness of beef and the tenderness of pork. This culinary idea comes from traditional recipes where meat harmoniously pairs with gooey, aromatic cheeses. The mozzarella center gives the cutlets softness and a creamy taste, while spices add zest and depth. When fried, a golden crust forms that retains juiciness inside, creating a magnificent contrast of textures. These cutlets pair wonderfully with fresh vegetables or pasta, complementing Italian gastronomy. Perfect for a cozy family dinner or festive table, filling the meal with Mediterranean aromas.
