I believe that the best snack on the festive table is pita bread baked in the oven with a filling. It can be made in the form of a roll or envelope, and various fillings can also be wrapped in it. Today I will present two recipes for pita bread snacks.

Lavash with meat and cheese in the oven

Necessary kitchen utensils: silicone brush, knife, whisk, cutting board, grater, spoon and baking dish.

Ingredients

How to choose ingredients

• When buying pita bread, pay attention to the expiration date... Also see if it is sprinkled with flour. Unscrupulous sellers use flour to give a fresh look to a stale product. High-quality pita bread should be rolled out evenly. Also, it should not have a musty smell.
• The color of the minced meat depends on the meat from which it is prepared. If it is beef, then the minced meat should be red. Minced pork is a little lighter, and chicken is pale pink. General requirements for all types of minced meat are uniformity, neutral odor, and absence of connective tissues and tendons. It is undesirable to buy minced meat by weight, because it is difficult to determine the shelf life of such a product. Choose minced meat in a package that has all the necessary information about it. These are the composition, expiration date, address and contact information of the manufacturer. High-quality minced meat should contain only meat. Salt and spices are added to hide the smell of stale food.

• Sour cream should contain milk, cream and sourdough... A quality product should be free of thickeners and other additives. Natural dairy products are not stored for long, good sour cream has a shelf life of 5 to 10 days. If the shelf life is very long, then this is an unnatural product. In the store, sour cream should only be in the refrigerator.
• When choosing vegetables, inspect them. They should not have dark spots or soft areas. If you are buying small quantities, inspect each vegetable. This will help you avoid unpleasant surprises at home when unpacking your purchases.
• Hard cheese can be of any kind... The main thing is that it is fresh. When buying cheese and other dairy products, pay attention to the expiration date. The composition of the cheese must be very short, it consists only of dairy products. It should not contain vegetable fats or chemical additives.

Ingredients

Step by step recipe

1. Divide the pita bread into three parts.
   
   
2. Place 100 g of fried mushrooms on one piece. You need to put it not in the middle, but closer to the edge. This is necessary so that later it would be convenient to wrap the envelope.
   
   
3. Then add 100 g of fried onions.

   If your onion has squeezed out a lot of juice or you have been frying it in a lot of oil, drain it in a colander. So the excess liquid will drain, and the filling will turn out to be ideal in consistency.

   
   
   
4. Sprinkle with herbs on top and add 100 g of grated cheese.
   
   
5. Gently wrap the pita bread in the shape of an envelope so that the filling does not fall out.
   
   
6. Do the same with the two remaining pieces of pita bread.
   
   
7. To prevent the envelopes from unfolding during cooking, prepare the protein mass. To do this, beat 2 egg whites, while whipping, you can add a pinch of salt.
   
   
8. Dip the envelopes in the protein mass or grease them with a silicone brush.
   
   
9. Bake the envelopes in an oven preheated to 200 ° for 10-15 minutes. Or fry over medium heat in vegetable oil for 2-2.5 minutes on each side.
   
   
10. Serve the finished envelopes to the table.

• The filling for these dishes can be different. If you don't like an ingredient in a recipe, you can exclude or replace it.

How to serve

You can serve any lavash snacks both cold and hot. If you are serving a roll, it must be cut into pieces. Envelopes can be fed without cutting.

At the festive table, appetizers are first served on one plate. Appliances for such dishes are not served. You can also serve cold cuts, salads and vegetables. If you cooked pita bread just for dinner, serve them with tea or coffee.
