During preparing delicious cutlets, it is important to adhere to the correct proportions, which can guarantee the excellent quality of the finished dish.

It is especially important to decide how many eggs and onions to add to the minced meat.

What proportions are considered ideal

Eggs

This component is "responsible" for the uniform texture of cutlets, as it connects the ingredients together. Thanks to this, cutlets do not fall apart during heat treatment.

However, it should be understood that an overabundance of eggs in minced meat makes cutlets coarse and tough.

Therefore, 1-2 chicken eggs will be enough for one kilogram.

Sometimes housewives add only egg white.

Onion

Onions provide the cutlets with juiciness, which makes them so appetizing. In order to achieve the desired effect, just add a couple of medium-sized onions.

Some housewives grind the vegetable in a meat grinder so that the minced meat becomes smooth.

Others first sauté the onion and only then add it to the other components.
