When preparing minced meat for cutlets, many people use eggs. And if you tell many housewives that minced meat for cutlets can be prepared without eggs, they will start twirling their fingers at their temples.
In fact, there are several universal replacements. Therefore, it is worth figuring out what is better to add to minced meat instead of eggs.
Expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" Yulia Arkhipova , a cook and fourth-class baker, told how to act in such a situation.
Oatmeal flakes
Adding oatmeal to your burgers not only adds a heartier texture, but also adds fiber and healthy nutrients to the dish.
You need to soak the oatmeal in a small amount of water or milk before adding it to the mince so that it absorbs moisture well and helps to “bind” the ingredients.
Breadcrumbs
Bread crumbs are a great alternative to eggs in minced meatballs because they have the ability to bind ingredients together and maintain the shape of the meatball while frying.
Simply crush dry bread into crumbs and add them to the minced meat, gradually mixing until you get the desired consistency.
Vegetable puree
Puree vegetables such as potatoes or broccoli can be used as a natural wet ingredient in place of eggs in minced meatballs.
It will not only add moisture and juiciness to the cutlets, but also enrich them with vitamins and minerals, making the dish even more nutritious.
Sauces based on tomatoes or soy sauce
Sauces based on tomatoes or soy sauce can serve as an excellent alternative to eggs in minced meat for cutlets, adding a special flavor accent to them.
It is enough to add a small amount of sauce to the minced meat and mix well so that the ingredients combine well and give the cutlets a richer taste.
Tofu
For those who prefer vegetarian options, tofu can be a great substitute.
You need to grind the tofu in a blender or with a fork until it reaches the consistency of a paste and add it to the minced meat so that it gives the cutlets a denser texture and protein component.
