Marinade with egg

Many cooks strive to cook shashlik with a tender crust, behind which juicy meat is hidden. Marinade with egg helps to achieve the desired goal.

The secret is simple: the egg "seals" the meat, not releasing the juice. At the same time, an appetizing crust forms on the surface. The protein in this case ensures the preservation of the juice, and the yolk softens the meat.
