Mimosa with canned fish and cheese (layers with sequence)

Each housewife has her own recipe for mimosa, and the sequence of layers may also differ. Some people put onions and fish in the first layer, but I prefer to start with potatoes. Because it absorbs liquid well, which still appears in the salad. In addition, it is more convenient to take a portioned piece without scraping fish remains from the main plate. I especially love this recipe because it uses quail eggs.

Ingredients:

• Canned fish (weight without liquid) - 250 g
• Potatoes – 250 gr
• Carrots – 120 gr
• Onion - 120 gr
• Hard cheese – 120 g
• Chicken egg - 4 pcs (quail egg - 20 pcs)
• Mayonnaise
• Greenery for decoration.

Cooking method: I’ll share another secret on how you can save time on cooking vegetables. You can quickly cook them in the microwave. To do this, vegetables must be peeled in advance. Place carrots and potatoes in separate bags and add 1-2 tablespoons of water to each bag. Bake them in an 800 W microwave for 4-5 minutes.

Try to take small tubers so that the vegetables do not remain raw inside. Check doneness with a wooden skewer.

The eggs must be boiled. If you cook quail, then keep in mind that you need to put them in boiling water and cook for 5 minutes. Peel the finished product from the shell and separate the white from the yolk. Finely chop the onion, mix it with 1/3 tsp salt and 2/3 tsp sugar, add 1/2 tsp vinegar essence and pour 400 ml of boiling water.

Let it sit for 10-15 minutes, after which the marinade can be drained. Grate vegetables, eggs and cheese separately on a coarse grater. Mash the canned fish with a fork, after draining all the liquid from the can. When all the ingredients are prepared, you can start assembling the salad. It is very convenient to use a baking ring for this. Each layer must be coated with a small amount of mayonnaise.

Layers: Potatoes - onions - fish - carrots - cheese - egg white - yolk

Place the salad in the refrigerator for 2 hours. When serving, garnish with herbs.

How to prepare Mimosa salad with canned fish:

Boil potatoes and carrots. It is advisable to do this in different saucepans, since the speed of cooking vegetables varies. Let's boil the eggs.

Peel the potatoes from their “jacket” and grate them. I use large divisions, we like it better.

We also remove the skin from the cooled carrots and grate them. And for now we put it aside.

Open the canned food and take out pieces of fish. Place them in a deep plate and crush them with a fork into small pieces. If the fish turns out to be a bit dry, you can add a little oil from the jar it was in.

Peel the onion, wash and cut into small cubes.

If you don't like hot onions, you can scald them with boiling water.

Cool the boiled eggs in cold water and remove the shells. Now we separate the whites from the yolks and grate them separately from each other. Sometimes I use a fork instead of a grater. It is also great for chopping eggs.

Now put the plate with salad in the refrigerator for at least half an hour. That's all. Bon appetit! And this is what everything looks like in cross-section.

There are few people who are unfamiliar with no-bake cookie cakes; thanks to the cream, they are soaked and turn out very tender and tasty. Why not use this technique to prepare snacks. We will replace sweet cookies with salted crackers, and cream with fillings from canned fish, cheese, and eggs.

2. Lay out another row of crackers, add half of the fish mass.
