Cheese-stuffed zrazy baked in the oven
Description
Why is this oven-baked cheese-stuffed zrazy recipe better than others? The answer is simple: I really love all dishes made with ground meat, especially zrazy, but I don't always have the time or energy to make them. Standing by the stove for a long time, frying zrazy in several batches (they don't all fit in the pan at once), and the extra cholesterol from oil—none of that appeals to me. That's why I often use this easy oven-baked cheese zrazy recipe. Cooking becomes a real pleasure because the oven does almost all the work, and the taste of these zrazy is so amazing it's hard to describe—better try them yourself!

Now, in a separate bowl, combine the ground meat, chopped onion, minced herbs and garlic, soaked bread, add the egg, and season with spices and salt. I also add liquid smoke, but of course, you can choose not to use it.

Step 4
All the minced meat needs to be thoroughly kneaded.
