Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 g ground pork
- 6 slices bread slices (white or artisan bread)
- 150 g yellow cheese (Bulgarian kashkaval or cheddar)
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 30 g butter (optional, for spreading)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F) and set it to broil mode.
If desired, lightly spread butter on one side of each bread slice to create a richer base for the filling.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, grated yellow cheese, egg, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until you achieve a cohesive mixture.
Divide the meat mixture evenly among the bread slices. Use a spoon to spread it over the non-buttered side of each slice, ensuring the layer is about 1–1.5 cm thick and covers the surface completely.
Place the prepared slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased surface.
Broil the sandwiches in the oven for approximately 8-10 minutes, or until the meat topping is fully cooked and slightly golden. Keep a close eye to avoid burning, as broilers can vary in intensity.
Remove the sandwiches from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm as a snack or meal. Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley or a dollop of yogurt for extra flavor.
