Brezol is a refined dish of European cuisine that captivates with its tender texture and rich flavor. The name comes from the French 'brésolé', meaning 'fried', which fully reflects the essence of its preparation. Brezol is a thin layer of minced meat covered with an egg shell, fried to a golden crust. The result is a hearty, juicy, and aromatic dish that can be served as an independent treat or with various fillings—from mushrooms to vegetables. The uniqueness of brezol lies in its versatility: it suits festive tables while also being an excellent option for a quick dinner. The tenderness of the minced meat, the subtle taste of spices, and the crispy egg crust make brezol one of the favorite recipes for those who appreciate simple yet sophisticated dishes.
