2. Grate the carrot and onion at the first stage and cut them into half-rings. In the second stage, fry them in a skillet. Pass the cooled mixture into the filling through a meat grinder.

3. Soak the bread in milk and also turn it into one of the filling components using a meat grinder.

4. Bind the filling with all the contents of the egg (whites and yolk).

5. Add salt and pepper in individually acceptable amounts.

6. A little magic in the form of mixing the filling and creating cutlets of a size appealing to children.
