Main Ingredients
- 1 pound (450 g) minced meat (beef, lamb, or mixture as preferred)
- 8 slices of bread
- 1 egg (optional, for binding)
- 1 1/2 cups (200 g) grated cheese (such as cheddar or a melting cheese)
Spices & Seasonings
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried savory
- 1/3 teaspoon ground fenugreek
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (220°C) to prepare for baking the sandwiches.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the minced meat, grated cheese, egg (if using), salt, black pepper, dried savory, ground fenugreek, paprika, ground cumin, and dried thyme. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Spread Mixture on Bread: Using a butter knife or spoon, evenly spread the meat and cheese mixture over one side of each slice of bread.
- Arrange on Baking Tin: Place the bread slices meat-side up onto a large baking tin lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- Switch to Top Heat: Adjust the oven setting to top heat only to help brown the meat topping evenly.
- Bake: Bake the arranged sandwiches in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until the meat is fully cooked and brown on top.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the princesses sandwiches immediately while hot and fresh.
Notes
- You can use any type of minced meat such as beef, lamb, or a combination depending on your preference.
- The egg is optional but helps to bind the mixture and keep it moist.
- Grated cheese adds flavor and moisture; choose a cheese that melts well like cheddar or mozzarella.
- Spices like fenugreek and savory give a distinctive aromatic taste, feel free to adjust based on your taste preference.
- Switching the oven to top heat only ensures a nicely browned meat topping without overcooking the bread underneath.
- This recipe yields four servings.
