In summer we want more vegetables, herbs, berries... But in winter - meat, hearty! I offer a delicious meat dish. And the secret... is in the quail eggs that are inside. Both adults and children like the dish, and it is not a shame to serve it on the festive table.

How to cook Meat ring with a secret

Step 1

Boil quail eggs, cool and peel.

Step 2

Scroll minced meat in a meat grinder and with it: onions, garlic soaked in milk and squeezed white bread, cabbage. Add salt, spices, remaining milk, chicken (raw) egg and mix thoroughly.

Step 3

Using two culinary rings (diameter 22 and 5 cm), put the minced meat on a baking sheet covered with parchment, in the form of a ring. Stick quail eggs into the minced meat all over the circle and carefully cover them with minced meat on top so that they are not visible. Bake the meat ring in the oven at 180 degrees for 25 minutes.

Step 4

Roll out the dough to a thickness of 3-4 mm and cut into narrow strips 1.5-2 cm wide. Remove the meat ring from the oven and carefully remove the cooking rings. Lay the strips of dough on top and place back in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until the dough and meat ring are browned. Cool slightly and serve.

Meat ring with a secret - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use chicken eggs instead of quail eggs?

Yes, you can substitute quail eggs with small chicken eggs, but adjust the cooking time slightly as they may take longer to boil.

What can I use instead of minced meat for a vegetarian version?

For a vegetarian alternative, try using a mix of lentils, mushrooms, or textured vegetable protein (TVP) seasoned similarly to the original recipe.

How long can I store the meat ring, and how should I reheat it?

The meat ring can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 160°C (320°F) for 10-15 minutes to maintain texture.

Can I make this dish gluten-free?

Yes, replace the white bread in the meat mixture with gluten-free breadcrumbs and use a gluten-free dough for the top layer.

What’s the best way to ensure the dough doesn’t become soggy?

Pre-bake the meat ring for 5-10 minutes before adding the dough strips to help seal in moisture and prevent sogginess.

Can I freeze the meat ring before baking?

Yes, assemble the meat ring (without the dough) and freeze it raw. Thaw in the fridge before baking and add the dough layer fresh.

What side dishes pair well with this dish?

Serve with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad for a balanced meal.
