Casserole Suns from mashed potatoes with sausages in the oven

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make mashed potatoes with sausages? Prepare the necessary ingredients. To make the flower on the casserole look beautiful, choose the right eggs and sausages. Choose fresher eggs (they have a more homogeneous protein) and the smallest size (C2). Take the sausages thin and long (length 14-16 cm). Wash and peel the potatoes well. If you have large tubers, cut them into small pieces. Fill with cold water and put on medium heat.

2. Step 2:

   

   While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the Bechamel sauce. Preheat the milk to a hot state. Then melt the butter in a saucepan or small frying pan over low heat, stirring constantly with a spatula. It is better to use dishes with a non-stick coating.

3. Step 3:

   

   Add flour to the butter and rub until smooth. You need to interfere constantly.

4. Step 4:

   

   Gradually add milk literally one or two spoonfuls at a time, immediately picking it up with a spatula and rubbing it into the sauce.

5. Step 5:

   

   Add all the milk, bring to a boil. Add salt to the sauce to your liking and remove from the heat. Our sauce should be liquid. Even if it seems too liquid to you, don't worry. The Bechamel sauce will become a little thicker when it cools down. In order not to form a film, cover the sauce tightly with cling film. But this can not be done, since the presence of a film is not essential for this dish. I did not cover the sauce, but mixed it with a whisk before using in step 10.

6. Step 6:

   

   Cook the potatoes for 25 minutes after boiling. When the potatoes are ready, drain all the water from them.

7. Step 7:

   

   Add butter and mash potatoes into mashed potatoes with a potato masher. Add salt and pepper to taste.

8. Step 8:

   

   How to serve sausages with mashed potatoes beautifully? Of course, to make such a casserole! Take a rectangular baking dish about 30x20 cm in size. If necessary, lubricate it with oil. Put the mashed potatoes on it and spread evenly over the bottom with a spoon or spatula.

10. Step 9:

    

    Divide the shape into 6 equal squares. Along the dividing lines with a table knife or, like me, the handle of a spoon, make indentations of about 1 cm. Make the width of these lines 1.5-2 cm, the main thing is that the same squares of mashed potatoes remain.

11. Step 10:

    

    How to make gravy for mashed potatoes with sausages? Grate the mozzarella on a coarse grater. Rinse the greens thoroughly and dry them. Choose twigs to decorate the casserole in the form of stems for flowers. Remove the hard stems from about half of the greens and chop with a knife.

12. Step 11:

    

    Add the chopped greens to the sauce and mix until smooth.

13. Step 12:

    

    Peel the sausages from the packaging. Make transverse incisions on one approximately to the middle of the sausage. Connect the ends together with a toothpick. If you have not cut the sausage deep enough, when twisting it, it may break at this point. Therefore, do everything carefully so as not to spoil the sausages. Try the resulting blank on a square of mashed potatoes. If the sausage fits freely, do the same with all 6 sausages.

14. Step 13:

    

    Fill the hollows on the mashed potatoes with sauce.

15. Step 14:

    

    Put mozzarella on the squares in the middle first, sausage on top. Spread the cheese and sausage easily, without pressing. This is necessary so that the protein from the egg spreads evenly and mixes with the cheese, without covering the sausage. Carefully cut off the visible edges of the toothpick with scissors or forceps.

16. Step 15:

    

    Perform the last step very carefully. Wash the eggs and wipe them with a dry towel. Carefully, so that the yolk remains intact, break the egg and slowly transfer it inside the sausage. At the same time, most of the protein should flow out from below. Bake on the middle shelf of a preheated 180 degree oven for about 25-30 minutes.
