Step 1:
How to bake brisket with cheese in the oven? Prepare all the necessary products. You can take any part of the pork carcass (I have pork belly), but it must be chilled meat, because when frozen, any product loses a significant part of its nutrients.
Step 2:
Wash the brisket, dry it and cut it into pieces of any shape. It can be larger or smaller pieces, as you wish!
Step 3:
Wash the tomatoes, remove the stalks and cut into slices of medium thickness.
Step 4:
Peel the onion and cut it into feathers.
Step 5:
Mix all the chopped. Add the minced garlic. I passed the clove through the press, but it is quite possible to grate it on a fine grater or just chop it with a knife. In the absence of fresh garlic, it is allowed to replace it with garlic powder.
Step 6:
Add sour cream. Sour cream can also be replaced with cream, natural yogurt or mayonnaise, which is much less desirable, because mayonnaise is not recommended to be heat-treated.
Step 7:
Add salt. At this stage, you can also add some of your favorite herbs or seasonings to the dish: ground hot pepper or paprika, hops-suneli, Provencal herbs. Or maybe it will be chopped fresh parsley or dill, a sprig of thyme or rosemary.
Step 8:
Prepare a heat-resistant baking dish. It is desirable that the sides of it were high enough - because in the process of cooking, the meat will release juice and the dish will increase in volume and it is not necessary that the contents of the mold pour over the edge.
Step 9:
Put the meat mixture into the mold.
Step 10:
Carefully arrange the tomato slices on top.
Step 11:
Grate the cheese on a coarse grater and put it on the tomatoes. Loosely - to prevent the foil from sticking to the cheese, cover the mold with foil. Place in a preheated 180 degree oven and bake until cooked for about 40 minutes. If you want a crust to appear on top, remove the foil 10 minutes before the end of cooking.
Step 12:
Serve the dish immediately while it is hot. Enjoy your meal!

In addition to pork, any other meat can be used in this dish. Keep in mind that the cooking time, as well as the taste and calorie content of the dish will change. For example, beef is cooked longer than pork, and chicken fillet or turkey is less.

Keep in mind that everyone's ovens are different. The temperature and cooking time may differ from those specified in the recipe. To make any baked dish successful, use useful information about the features of ovens !

So that the oven has time to heat up to the desired temperature, turn it on in advance (10-20 minutes before the start of cooking).
