Fried dumplings in the oven with cheese

This option is semi-finished, probably the most delicious. Fried, they have a rich aroma and a delicious crust. Recipes can be very diverse. I propose to make them in combination with omelet and cheese.

IMPORTANT! To make the dumplings juicy and retain their shape, you do not need to defrost them in advance. You can get it out of the freezer and cook right away.
  1. We start by frying the semi-finished products. Lubricate the mold with butter and send to the oven for 20 minutes.
  2. In the middle of this time, be sure to turn them over and add some water.
  3. After roasting, top with any sauce and add grated cheese. The dish is tasty and aromatic.

Preparation for cooking

For baking dumplings in the oven, you can add any ingredients. Pour them with broth, sour cream, sauce. And to create a delicious crust, cover with cheese.

REMEMBER! The composition of additional products can be changed depending on taste preferences. Enrich the dish with the vegetables that you like the most!

For baking in the oven, two methods are possible: laying raw foods in raw form or pre-boiling until half cooked. The latter option speeds up cooking, and the first, on the contrary, requires careful baking.

On average, half a kilogram of semi-finished products is baked for 30 minutes at a temperature of 200 degrees. If dumplings are placed raw, the volume of sauce must be increased so that all parts can be completely saturated with it.

The taste of the finished dish is determined by the fill. For example, milk or sour cream will add a creamy hue, tomato paste - a sour taste, vegetable or meat broth - saturation.

Calorie content

Given that the composition of the test, in fact, does not change and is fresh, the calorie content of raw dumplings depends solely on the filling. Semi-finished products with pork are more popular.It is necessary to take into account the fact that this type of meat has a high calorie content. Less fat will be minced beef. Meat is considered chicken, turkey and rabbit meat. Dumplings from mushrooms, fish or vegetables will be low-calorie.

TIP! If you want a “fatter” dish, for the filling, take minced pork with the addition of lard.

Calorie content also depends on the sauce that is used. The most common dressings are sour cream and mayonnaise. It is believed that the latter has a high calorie content. However, the fat content of both products may be different, depending on the selected product. Below is a table with the energy value of the main ingredients.

As you can see, in order to know calorie accuracy ready-made dumplings, it is necessary to calculate the nutritional value of all the involved ingredients and flavors.

Naturally, the cooking method plays an important role. Dumplings can be cooked, baked, fried. Baked, like boiled, have a relatively low calorie content. A dish in this form is also more sparing for the body. Fried in oil, in addition to a high degree of nutrition, will be difficult for digestion.

In order not to overestimate calorie content, it is advisable not to use dumplings with bakery products, fatty foods and carbonated drinks.

Useful Tips

To make baked dumplings delicious, use some tips.

  • If you decide to cook dumplings yourself, it is better to make minced meat with poultry meat. So it will be more tender and juicy.
  • Grind onion for minced meat is a knife or vegetable cutter, as a meat grinder removes a lot of moisture.
  • To improve the taste, chopped garlic can be added to the minced meat.
  • When baking a dish, it is advisable to cover it with food foil or a lid.
