Instructions

Working time approx. 25 minutes; Total time approx. 25 minutes

Tender schnitzels with ham and minced meat, juicy baked

Soak the bread roll in lukewarm water. Season the schnitzels with salt and pepper and place them in a greased baking dish. Place a slice of ham on each one. Squeeze out the dough from the bread roll, tear it into pieces, and knead it with the minced meat, salt, pepper, paprika, and chopped parsley. Divide the minced meat mixture into 8 portions and press it onto the schnitzels. Slice the mushrooms and dice the tomatoes. Place both on the schnitzels and a generous dollop of sour cream on top. Sprinkle with cheese, dust with paprika, and bake in the oven at 200°C (180°C fan-assisted oven) for about 30 minutes. It tastes great with a green salad and baguette, but also with other side dishes such as hash browns or fried potatoes. It’s easy to make ahead; just keep it in the fridge until you put it in the oven.
