4. Arrange the rolls on a baking dish, dilute the wine with water in a 1:2 ratio, brush the tops of the rolls with sour cream, and place in the oven, basting the fillets regularly with the juices that collect at the bottom of the dish. After 25 minutes, sprinkle the meat with grated cheese and bake for another 10 minutes. When serving, remove the toothpicks and, if desired, garnish the dish with fresh herbs.
