Ingredients
For the Mince Roll:

- 5 g (0.2 oz) garlic powder
- 5 g (0.2 oz) oregano
- 10 g (0.4 oz) mustard
- 10 g (0.4 oz) chopped parsley
- 4 g (0.1 oz) salt
- 4 g (0.1 oz) black pepper
- 5 slices toast bread
- 100 ml (3.4 fl oz) milk
- 200 g (7.1 oz) smoked bacon, sliced
- 200 g (7.1 oz) pickled cucumbers, sliced
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 150 g (5.3 oz) cheese, sliced
- 20 ml (0.7 fl oz) oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Bread Mixture:
- Tear the toast bread into small pieces and place them in a bowl. Pour the milk over the bread and let it soak until the bread becomes soft. Once soaked, mash the bread with a fork to create a thick paste.
- Mix the Mince:
- In a large bowl, combine the minced meat, egg, garlic powder, oregano, mustard, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to incorporate all the seasonings evenly.
- Combine with Bread:
- Add the soaked bread mixture to the minced meat mixture and mix thoroughly until everything is well combined.
- Prepare the Filling:
- Lay out the smoked bacon slices on a piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper, slightly overlapping them to form a rectangle.
- Spread the pickled cucumber slices evenly over the bacon.
- Sprinkle the finely chopped onion over the cucumbers, followed by the cheese slices.
- Assemble the Roll:
- Place the minced meat mixture on top of the bacon and filling. Gently press and spread the meat to cover the entire area, forming a uniform layer.
- Using the edges of the parchment or plastic wrap, carefully roll the mince mixture up, encasing the filling inside. Pinch the edges to seal.
- Cook the Roll:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Heat the oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the mince roll and brown it on all sides.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the mince roll is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F).
- Serve:
- Allow the mince roll to rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve hot with your favorite sides or a simple salad.
