A bit of history
Patties are a traditional dish in many cultures, often served as part of the main meal or as an appetizer. They can vary depending on ingredients and spices, but the secret to an exceptional taste lies in the perfect blend of meat with the wet ingredients. In many households, patties are made with love and passed down from generation to generation.

Preparing the patties

1. Soaking the bread: Start by chopping the stale bread into small pieces and placing it in a bowl. Pour the milk over it and let it soak for a few minutes.

2. Mixing the ingredients: In a larger bowl, add the minced meat. After the bread has soaked, add it to the bowl along with the milk. It’s important not to drain the milk, as it will contribute to the juiciness of the patties.

3. Seasoning: Add the salt, pepper, and dried dill. These spices will give a subtle yet pleasant flavor to your dish.

4. The eggs: Beat the two eggs with a fork in a separate bowl, then incorporate them into the meat mixture. They will help bind the ingredients and provide a finer texture.

5. Mixing: Use your palms to mix all the ingredients well. It’s important to knead the mixture with your hands, which will help aerate it and make the patties fluffier. If you find it too sticky, grease your hands with a little oil to facilitate shaping.

6. Resting the mixture: Cover the bowl with a towel and let it rest in the fridge for 30 minutes. This step is essential to allow the flavors to combine and achieve a better texture.

7. Shaping the patties: After the mixture has rested, take pieces of about 100-130 g from the meat mixture and form balls. Then, flatten them between your palms to create round patties, about 2 cm high.

8. Placing the patties: Place the patties on a greased wooden or plastic board. Let them sit for 30 minutes to firm up a bit.

9. Preheating the oven: Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 200 °C. This step is crucial for achieving a crispy crust.

10. Baking: Arrange the patties on a baking tray and bake for 10 minutes. After this time, remove the tray from the oven.

11. Adding the mushrooms and cheese: Mix the mushrooms (whether marinated or baked) with half of the grated cheese. Sprinkle this mixture over the patties, followed by the remaining cheese.

12. Finishing the baking: Place the tray back in the oven and let them bake for another 7 minutes, until the cheese turns golden and delicious.

Serving and suggestions
These delicious patties are perfect served with a side of fresh salad or alongside a portion of mashed potatoes. You can also accompany them with a yogurt sauce with dill or a spicy tomato sauce for an extra flavor boost.

Frequently asked questions:
- Can I use chicken or turkey meat? Absolutely! You can adapt the recipe according to your preferences, but make sure to adjust the baking time.
- How can I make the patties more flavorful? You can add crushed garlic or sautéed onion to the meat mixture for an extra flavor kick.
- What other ingredients can I use? You can experiment with fresh herbs, such as parsley or basil, for a different taste.

Nutritional benefits
