Stuffed buns are an excellent choice for a quick, flavorful lunch or dinner. This simple recipe combines fresh ingredients with a rich filling, turning into a dish that everyone will love. Let's get started!

Necessary ingredients:

- 4 round buns (preferably whole grain or seeded for a more intense flavor)
- 300 g minced meat (you can use pork, beef, or a mix)
- 2 large ripe tomatoes
- 1 medium onion
- 150 g cheese (feta or mozzarella for a creamier texture)
- 1 egg
- 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Dried or fresh oregano (optional, for extra flavor)

Step by step to get perfect stuffed buns:

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by peeling the tomatoes. An effective method is to plunge them into boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer them immediately to cold water. This will make peeling easier. Cut the tomatoes into small cubes.

2. Chopping the onion and cheese: Peel and finely chop the onion. If you prefer a milder flavor, you can sauté the onion in a little olive oil before adding it to the filling. Cut the cheese into small cubes, choosing a cheese that melts well, like mozzarella.

3. Preparing the filling: In a large bowl, add the minced meat, tomatoes, onion, cheese, egg, salt, pepper, and oregano. Mix the ingredients well with a wooden spoon or your hands, ensuring that everything is well integrated.

4. Preparing the buns: Preheat the oven to 180°C. Cut a lid off about 1/3 of each bun and scoop out the insides with a spoon. This will create generous space for the filling.

5. Filling the buns: Fill each bun with the meat and vegetable mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the filling is well compacted. Place the stuffed buns in a baking dish.

6. Baking: Drizzle the buns with a little olive oil and, if desired, sprinkle a bit of oregano on top. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the buns are golden and the filling is completely cooked.

7. Serving: Serve the stuffed buns warm, alongside a fresh arugula salad or a garlic yogurt sauce for a delicious contrast. These stuffed buns are perfect for a quick lunch or a light dinner, but they can also be a great appetizer for a party.

Helpful tips:

- You can customize the filling with vegetables such as bell peppers, mushrooms, or even olives for a Mediterranean taste.
- If you want a vegetarian option, replace the meat with lentils or quinoa, and the cheese with tofu.
- For a spicy kick, add a few slices of chili pepper to the filling.

These stuffed buns are not only delicious but also versatile, with the potential to become your favorites! Try them and enjoy a quick and tasty treat that will bring smiles to your loved ones' faces. Enjoy your meal!
