Schnitzel made from homemade minced meat with egg is a dish rooted in German cuisine, known for its simplicity and heartiness. In the classic version, schnitzel is made from a whole piece of meat, but this recipe offers a more tender variant – from minced meat. A mixture of pork and beef, complemented by onions, spices, and aromatic herbs, turns into juicy patties with a golden crust. The feature of this dish is its filling: melted cheese and baked egg that give the schnitzel softness and rich flavor. It is cooked in the oven, making it healthier, and its shape resembles a boat that conveniently holds the filling. Such schnitzel can be served with greens and a light side dish; it pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes or fresh vegetables.

We take a full palm of minced meat, lightly beat it in our hands, and form a schnitzel. The schnitzel shrinks after baking, so I recommend making it larger!
