Instructions

Working time approx. 35 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 55 minutes

with meatballs

Finely dice 1/2 an onion, cut off the edges of a slice of toast and discard, soak the slice, squeeze the excess water, and mix it with the minced meat in a bowl along with the garlic, egg, stock, and pepper (to taste). Preheat the oven to approximately 190°C (convection oven). Cut the remaining onions into strips and fry them in a pan with oil, a little stock, and pepper (depending on how dark or light you want them). Remove the fried onions from the pan and set them aside in a bowl. Form the minced meat mixture into 7 meatballs and fry them in a pan with oil until nicely browned. Cut the tomatoes into 7 thin slices and add them to the pan shortly before the end of the cooking time (you can also leave them raw if you like). Toast the remaining bread in the toaster until golden brown. Place the finished slices of toast on a baking rack and evenly cover with the fried onions. Cut each meatball into 4 pieces. Place one dumpling on each slice of toast, spread with mustard to taste, and drizzle with ketchup. Then top each slice with a slice of cheese and place a tomato slice in the center. Then add a dollop of ketchup to the tomato slices. Place the filled toast slices on the oven rack in the preheated oven for about 8 minutes, depending on the desired browning. Serve hot.
