Ingredients
For the Patties:
- 1 pound of minced beef
- 1 chopped onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of black pepper
For the Bread Mixture:
- 2 loaves of bread
- ½ cup of milk
For the Stuffing:
- 2 boiled eggs, grated
- 1 ¼ cup of grated mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon of melted butter
- 1 teaspoon of dried garlic flakes
- 1 teaspoon of salt
For the Coating:
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup of cream cheese
- 5 tablespoons of flour
- Salt to taste
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Beef Mixture
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add 1 pound of minced beef, 1 chopped onion, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix thoroughly with your hands until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
Step 2: Prepare the Bread Mixture
- Soak the Bread: In a separate bowl, place 2 loaves of bread and pour ½ cup of milk over them. Allow the bread to soak up the milk completely. Once soaked, drain any excess milk by gently squeezing the bread.
- Incorporate with Beef: Add the soaked bread to the minced beef mixture and mix well until the bread is evenly distributed throughout the beef.
Step 3: Prepare the Stuffing
- Create the Filling: In another bowl, grate 2 boiled eggs. Add 1 ¼ cup of grated mozzarella cheese, 1 tablespoon of melted butter, 1 teaspoon of dried garlic flakes, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir the mixture until all ingredients are well combined.
Step 4: Form and Stuff the Patties
- Shape the Patties: Take a portion of the beef mixture and flatten it in your hand to form a patty.
- Add the Stuffing: Place a spoonful of the stuffing mixture in the center of the flattened beef.
- Seal the Patties: Carefully fold the beef over the stuffing, ensuring the edges are sealed to encase the filling completely. Repeat this process until all the beef mixture and stuffing are used.
Step 5: Freeze the Patties
- Chill for Stability: Arrange the stuffed patties on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Place the sheet in the freezer for 30 minutes. This step helps the patties maintain their shape and prevents the stuffing from leaking during frying.
Step 6: Prepare the Coating
- Mix the Coating: In a bowl, whisk together 2 eggs, ½ cup of cream cheese, 5 tablespoons of flour, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 7: Fry the Patties
- Coat the Patties: Dip each stuffed patty into the coating mixture, ensuring it is fully covered.
- Fry to Perfection: Heat a frying pan over low heat and add a small amount of oil. Place the coated patties in the pan and fry on low heat for about 10 minutes on each side, or until the patties are cooked through and golden brown.
Your stuffed minced beef patties are now ready to be enjoyed! These patties are bursting with flavor and have a delightful cheesy center that makes them a standout dish. Serve them with a side of vegetables, salad, or even on a bun for a unique twist on a classic burger.
Tips and Variations
- Cheese Variations: Experiment with different cheeses such as cheddar, gouda, or pepper jack for varied flavors.
- Herbs and Spices: Add fresh herbs like parsley, cilantro, or basil to the stuffing for an extra burst of freshness.
- Serving Suggestions: Pair the patties with a fresh salad, roasted vegetables, or homemade fries for a complete meal.
