Ingredients

For the Mince Roll:

• 1.3 kg (3 lb) minced meat
• 1 egg
• 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

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Combine with Bread:
   • Add the soaked bread mixture to the minced meat mixture and mix thoroughly until everything is well combined.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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).
7. Serve:
   • Allow the mince roll to rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve hot with your favorite sides or a simple salad.
