Oven-baked dumplings: step-by-step recipe
If you are constantly in a hurry and don’t have time to spend a long time at the stove, you will really like this method of cooking. After all, you don’t even have to cook the dumplings!
Instructions:
First step. Finely chop two onions and fry in butter.
Second step: mix 400 grams of 15% fat sour cream with spices, salt, a clove of garlic squeezed through a press and chopped herbs (a few sprigs are enough). Add fried onions. Mix the sauce well.
Step three: three hundred grams of hard cheese. Grease a baking dish (or frying pan) with sunflower oil. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees.
The final stage of preparation: take out a half-kilogram pack of frozen dumplings (raw). Quickly pour them into the mold. Pour in the prepared sauce. Sprinkle grated cheese on top. in the oven, will be ready in half an hour. The secret of their preparation is simple - the products are simply boiled, not in water, but in sauce.
Second basic recipe
Now let’s consider a situation where you cooked dumplings, but did not calculate your strength in eating them. What to do with the remaining products? Don't rush to feed them to your dog. After all, you can cook dumplings baked in the oven with cheese. The recipe for this dish is simple and simple. For a festive twist, add mushrooms. You can take both fresh and pickled champignons, boletus mushrooms, butter mushrooms, and chanterelles. Clean and cut 450 grams of mushrooms. If they are pickled or salted, reduce their quantity to 350 g.
In a bowl, carefully mix a glass of 30 percent fat cream, 100 milliliters of sour cream and mayonnaise. Squeeze four cloves of garlic through a press. Separately, chop the onion into thin rings. Grease the mold with butter. Place boiled dumplings on the bottom. Place the mushrooms on top and cover them with onion rings. Pour in the sauce and into the oven. Bake the dumplings for about half an hour at 180 degrees. Three cheeses - the more, the tastier the dish. Five minutes before the end of cooking, remove the pan. Cover the surface of the dish with a cheese cap. Let it melt and brown.
Original dumplings in Ural style
The recipe for this dish also involves the use of ready-made products. Place a kilogram of boiled dumplings in a form or baking sheet with high sides greased with vegetable oil. We clean and chop one onion. Melt a tablespoon of butter in a frying pan. Fry the onion until golden brown. Cut two hundred grams of ham into small cubes. Grind two bell peppers of different colors in the same way. Mix sour cream (300 g) with dill, salt and spices. Layer on the dumplings first the onions, then the peppers and finally the ham. Pour in the sauce. Place the pan in an oven preheated to 200 degrees. While they are baking, three hundred grams of hard cheese. After 25 minutes, take out the mold. Sprinkle the oven-baked dumplings with grated cheese. Cook at the same temperature for another five minutes. Serve with sour cream.
Dumplings for breakfast
The above recipe is good when we have a sufficient amount of cooked products. What if after last night’s dinner there are only a few dumplings left? Let's cook a delicious omelet with them. Mix three tablespoons of milk with two eggs. Let's not forget about salt and spices. Add one spoon of melted butter. Pour the resulting mixture into the frying pan. Fry the omelette on both sides. Let's put it into the form. If your frying pan has a removable handle, you can leave the omelette in it. Place boiled dumplings on one half of the egg circle. Baked in the oven, they will dry out if they are not covered. So we fold the omelette circle in half. Sprinkle the resulting “crescent” with a pinch of ground black pepper and grated cheese (one hundred grams). Place in the oven and bake for five minutes at 200 degrees. Serve the dish with sour cream, sprinkled with green onions.
Very satisfying dumplings
Most often, products, especially raw ones, are filled with liquid sauce. Here we will look at how to bake dumplings in the oven with mayonnaise, not sour cream. The calories in this dish will increase significantly, but the taste will be simply delicious. First, finely chop the onion. Grate hard cheese (about 150 grams) into large shavings. Sauté the onion in butter until golden. Fill it with 300 grams of mayonnaise. Add the sauce directly to the pan and let it warm up a little. Grease a baking sheet with vegetable oil. Place dumplings in one layer, distributing them evenly. This will be easy to do, since the recipe calls for the use of frozen raw product (half a kilo). Fill the dumplings with mayonnaise. Sprinkle the surface of the dish with grated cheese. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. The products need to be baked for about forty minutes. Variations are possible in this dish. You can add bell peppers and pickled cucumbers to the recipe. To be one hundred percent sure that the dumplings are baked until cooked, you can dilute the mayonnaise with sour cream in equal proportions.
Cooking in the microwave
Above we saw how easy and simple it is to bake dumplings in the oven. This recipe can also be applied if your apartment has a microwave instead of a regular stove. But then the form in which the dumplings with cheese will be baked must be appropriate. Lubricate it with vegetable oil. Add frozen raw dumplings. Pour in the sauce prepared by mixing sour cream and mayonnaise in equal proportions, with the addition of fried onion, garlic squeezed through a press and a small amount of Dijon mustard. Salt and season with spices. We will grate the cheese in advance, but we will not add it to the dish yet. First, turn on the microwave oven to the “Defrost” mode for 6 minutes. Then we will switch the unit to the highest power (900-1000 W). Set the timer for five minutes. Let's reduce the power to medium. Let the dumplings bake for another 10 minutes or even a quarter of an hour. Cooking time largely depends on how busy the mold is and the power of the machine.
Dumplings baked in the oven in pots
Previous recipes always called for the use of a special wide mold, frying pan or baking sheet with high edges. Next, we will look at the method of baking products in pots. Are there any specific specifics to the preparation? Undoubtedly! Firstly, you cannot bake raw dumplings in pots. They'll just stick together there. Secondly, pots should always be placed in a cold oven, since temperature changes can cause the ceramics to crack. You should also make sure that the dishes do not touch the walls of the oven. Thirdly, even if we bake boiled or fried dumplings, it is necessary to add liquid to the pots. Then the desired temperature will be established inside the cookware. To prevent dumplings baked in the oven from burning, the pots need to be covered with something. And it can be not only grated cheese. There are recipes that describe how to make unleavened dough for the original lid. The pots should be pulled out of the oven ahead of time, ten minutes before the end of the cooking process. The dish will cook on its own due to the residual heat. Now let's move on to individual recipes.
In creamy sauce
Heat water with salt. When it boils, throw the dumplings in there. Cook for literally 3-4 minutes. The products must be damp. We quickly catch them with a slotted spoon and place ten pieces or a dozen in pots. Pour a glass of milk into a separate container, beat in four eggs, add eight tablespoons of rich sour cream. Beat with a whisk. Pour this sauce evenly into the pots. We also put a piece of butter in each. You can make these dumplings “under the hat”. For this, three hundred grams of hard cheese. Sprinkle the necks of the pots. Lower the ceramic lids. Place the pots in a cold oven away from the walls and at some distance from each other. Turn on the oven at 200 degrees. After half an hour, remove the lids from the pots. This way, dumplings with cheese baked in the oven will acquire an appetizing golden brown crust.
Taiga style
You need to cook a kilogram of dumplings a little. Let's put them in pots. In a deep frying pan, fry a finely chopped onion. We clean the liver (preferably beef, but chicken can also) from films and cut into pieces. When the onion turns golden, add liver to it. Scald tomatoes (3-4 pieces) with boiling water, remove the skin, finely chop the pulp. Pour half a glass of sour cream into the pan, add tomatoes, spices and salt. Simmer the sauce until the liver is completely cooked. Pour it over the dumplings in the pots. You can lower the ceramic lids, or you can roll out unleavened dough and stick it around the necks of the dishes. In the latter case, it needs to be pricked with a fork to allow steam to escape. The dough will protect the dumplings with tomatoes baked in the oven from drying out. And the resulting flatbread can be spread with butter and eaten as a snack with the main dish. If you use tomato paste instead of fresh tomatoes, you will get dumplings in Amur pots. Boiled products can also be baked directly in a frying pan.
With mushrooms, “Royally”
Cook the products for 3-4 minutes. Cut the lard (50 grams) into small cubes and melt the cracklings. In this fat, fry 200 grams of peeled mushrooms (preferably white or champignons) until tender. We transfer them together with the cracklings into a bowl, and give their place in the frying pan to lightly boiled dumplings. If necessary, add vegetable oil. Fry the dumplings until the dough is golden brown. Grease each pot from the inside with sunflower oil. This is necessary so that the dumplings baked in the oven in sour cream do not stick to the walls. The bottom of the dish can also be sprinkled with breadcrumbs. We lay out the “royal” dish in layers: fried mushrooms, sour cream, dumplings. We repeat the alternation of layers. Sprinkle generously with grated cheese on top. Place the pots in the oven. Turn it on to 200 degrees. We bake for half an hour.
With broth
This dish can be qualified as a soup with original meatballs. First, cook the aromatic broth - chicken, beef - until tender. It should already be salted and spiced. Lighten it with protein or strain through several layers of gauze until the liquid becomes clear and amber. Roll out the unleavened dough. Turn on the oven at 200 degrees. Since the pots will be filled with hot liquid, they will not burst due to temperature changes in the oven. Bring the broth to a boil again. We take out the frozen dumplings. We put them in pots. Pour in the broth up to the shoulders of the dish. Quickly seal the holes with dough, not forgetting to pierce it with a fork in several places. Place the pots in the oven. We languish there for at least 30 minutes. There is also a variation of this dish. If you want to get a second dish rather than a soup, pour half the amount of broth into the pots. Cover the dishes with ceramic lids. In this case, you can cook baked dumplings in the oven with cheese, tomatoes, mushrooms and other ingredients, which are added to the pots on top.
Baked dumplings in the oven are a manifestation of the highest skill in cooking. And not so much because it is difficult, but rather because the end result is an exceptionally tasty and unusual dish, not at all similar to the original fast food, which dumplings essentially are.

We cut the halves of the peeled onions into feathers against the grain. Then, sauté in hot oil and place the prepared onion on the bottom of the glass dish in which we will bake the dumplings.
Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. As soon as the butter has become liquid, add flour to it and mix until completely combined. Then, you can pour in cold (!) cream and stir the sauce at the same time. At this stage, you can increase the heat a little, but you cannot stop stirring the sauce, otherwise lumps may appear. Add all the spices to the sauce and wait for it to thicken. After this, you can remove the sauce from the heat, as it is already ready.
Place the dumplings on the prepared onion bed, slightly overlapping them, and cover them with hot creamy sauce. Sprinkle with pieces of grated cheese and, covering the pan with foil, place in the oven for 20 minutes. Then, remove the foil. At this point, the dumpling dish is almost cooked and the cheese has melted. Leave it in the oven for another 10 minutes.

Lazy lavash dumplings
Using Armenian bread to prepare unusual, original dishes has already become a habit for many housewives. For example, you can wrap minced meat in it and get lazy dumplings. You can use regular dumpling dough if you prefer, but pita bread is a time saver. If you cook this dish in the oven with vegetables, then you have no doubt that your family will like it and will add to the list of your household’s favorite foods.
Ingredients:
- Armenian lavash - 2 pcs.;

- minced meat - 0.5 kg;
- onion - 1 pc.;
- milk - ½ cup;
- carrots - 2 pcs.;
- tomato paste - 100 g;
- sour cream 1 glass;
- wheat bread - 100 g.

Dumplings in pots with sour cream and cheese
Ingredients:
- 0.5 kg frozen dumplings;
- Approximately 1 liter of water;
- 1 small onion;
- 1−2 small carrots;
- Sunflower or butter;
- 0.5 tablespoon of salt (or a little more to taste);
- 2 bay leaves;
- A few black peppercorns;
- Parsley, dill, basil;
- 50 ml sour cream;
- 50 g hard cheese;
- 1−2 garlic cloves.
Cooking method:
After heating the oil (butter or sunflower), pour in the frozen dumplings and, stirring, fry for a couple of minutes until slightly golden. Then pour it into a bowl and let it cool a little. And add a little oil to the frying pan and fry the onions and carrots, as for soup.
First, sauté the chopped onion for 1-2 minutes, then add the carrots grated on a coarse grater and fry for another minute. Ready!
While the frying is being prepared, at the same time we will make a fragrant filling for the dumplings. Pour 4 glasses of water into the pan, put it on the fire, and when it boils, throw in the spices: salt, peppercorns, bay leaf and finely chopped herbs. Let it boil for a couple of minutes and turn it off.
Now we put the dumplings in the pots - about half full, so that they don’t run away when they start to expand.
And fill it with aromatic broth - so that the water does not reach the shoulders of the pot. Don't pour it to the top - it will run away. Therefore, just in case, it is better to place the pots not on a wire rack, but on a baking sheet. Even if the broth starts to pour out during boiling, the baking sheet will “catch” it.
If you pour in a little broth so that the dumplings are only lightly covered with it, you will have a second dish. And if you pour more - so that the dumplings float in the water - you will get something similar to dumpling soup in pots!
It is better to add sour cream later, when the dish is ready - otherwise, when baking, it may turn into cottage cheese.
Cover the pots with lids and place in a not very hot oven. Gradually raise the temperature to 200C and bake the dumplings in the oven for about 30-35 minutes.
Taking out the pots with thick oven mitts, remove the lids and sprinkle the dumplings with grated cheese. Put it in the oven again, or maybe turn it off - the cheese will melt in the warmth, and after 5 minutes you can serve a hot dinner!

The most popular simple dish among Russian housewives is dumplings. Anyone can prepare it, and the process takes little time. Over time, many variations of even this dish appeared: boiled, fried, baked, with or without sauce. Below we will describe the recipe for dumplings in the oven with mayonnaise and cheese, cooking features and other cooking tips.
Origin story
When it comes to which country is the birthplace of a particular dish, everyone immediately falls into a stupor. Russians are often mistaken about what is their own craft and what they have borrowed from other peoples.
Dumplings came to Russia from China. There they have a special place on the holiday table. On New Year's Eve, all Chinese families sit down to make dumplings and then eat them. It is believed that in this way they strengthen the relationship.
First, the dish from China came to the peoples of the Mongol Empire, and they, in turn, shared it with the Russians. Since then, dumplings have become an integral part of folk cuisine. Without them, it is currently difficult to imagine the life of the Russian population.
Varieties of dumplings
Despite the simplicity of the dish, it has many variations. The composition remains unchanged, but the form changes.
Classic Russian dumplings look like a small ear. A piece of minced meat is wrapped in the dough and sealed. In the assortment of supermarkets you can see both large “ears” and small ones.
Sometimes you come across very strange dumplings: round, with thin dough and a lot of meat. They also taste a little different from the standard product. They are called "khinkali". This option is more similar to Chinese. The shape is completely consistent, but the filling is modified.
Dumplings can also be divided into homemade and store-bought, but here it depends on people’s wishes. Homemade is always better than store-bought, but it takes much more time.
How to choose dumplings
Usually, many buyers choose dumplings based on price. The composition is still the same, but you won’t have to overpay. However, there is a difference.
Manufacturers, in order to make the product more profitable for themselves, add substitutes, proteins, animal and plant additives, and sometimes waste to the minced meat: skins, sinews, ears, etc. In the form of minced meat, it all looks the same, but there would hardly be a demand for the product was high, find out what the buyer actually consists of.
You can protect yourself only by carefully reading the composition and other labels on the packaging. A “meat product” will be safer than a “meat-containing product.” Plus, the choice of manufacturer is very important: larger companies will be more reliable than an unfamiliar one.
Basic recipe: ingredients
Now that we have decided how to choose a base, let's begin describing the recipe. How to bake dumplings in the oven?
For the dish we will need:
- Dumplings - quantity will depend on portions. If you have a large family, you may have to use a full pack, but for 2-3 people half will be enough.
- Mayonnaise - it is better to give preference to olive mayonnaise. It is softer and more aromatic. It is very important to pay attention to the fat content - it should be higher than or equal to 80%, then the likelihood that the product is of high quality will be higher.
- Any cheese will do, but the ideal option is semi-hard. It melts well, so it is used much more often than others. Brand: Russian, Edam, Dutch, etc.
- Butter - for coating the mold.
Preparation
- The first thing you need to do to prepare dumplings in the oven with mayonnaise and cheese is to boil the main ingredient. It is highly not recommended to bake raw dumplings right away, otherwise they may remain half raw.
- Next, take a mold and grease it with oil. It is important to coat both the walls and the bottom well so that food does not stick to them.
- Now place the dumplings in a container. Distribute evenly, you can add just a little broth to the bottom, or use it a little later.
- Let's start refueling. How much mayonnaise to add is a purely personal decision. Place it in a separate container, top with three cheeses of your choice. Mix until a homogeneous mass is formed. You can add a little broth from the dumplings, then the mixture will become more liquid and easier to use.

With fried onions and sour cream
You can diversify a simple recipe for dumplings in the oven with mayonnaise and cheese and add sour cream and onions.
The first ingredient must be mixed in equal proportions with the sauce from the main recipe. What is the beauty of sour cream - it makes rich mayonnaise more tender, but at the same time retains all the taste. In this marinade, the dumplings will acquire a light creamy taste.
The onion needs to be fried until golden brown. Also adjust the quantity at your discretion. The resulting product must be added to the sauce and mixed well.
With mushrooms, eggs and onions
What if you experiment and add additional ingredients to the dumplings?
We take the very first recipe as a basis and add champignons, chicken eggs and onions to it. The quantity is regulated independently, but we advise you not to get carried away with the second product: 3 pieces will be enough for 1 kg of dumplings.
We do the same until the sauce is prepared. It will be prepared a little differently: first the eggs are beaten, then mayonnaise and seasonings are added (optional).
You will need to clean and cut the champignons. You need to spread them on top of the dumplings evenly throughout the entire form. Pour the sauce over everything and bake in the oven for 40 minutes at 180 degrees. When the casserole is ready, you need to take it out, sprinkle it generously with cheese and cook for another 5 minutes.
With mushrooms and onions in pots
It would seem that it makes no difference in what form the food is baked, but this also plays a big role. The taste is transformed by evenly distributing temperature over a small amount of food.
So, you will need:
- dumplings;
- mayonnaise;
- dumpling broth;
- mushrooms (preferably champignon, but any other will do);
- pepper (to taste).
Preparation:
- Cook the dumplings, be sure to leave the broth. Chop the mushrooms. Peel the onion, chop and fry. Mix mayonnaise with a small amount of broth to make it more liquid, add allspice black pepper if desired. Grate the cheese on a coarse grater.
- Let's take the pots. Lay out dumplings and mushrooms in layers and fill the food level. Sprinkle cheese on top. When all the pots are filled, send them to bake in the oven for 40 minutes at 180 degrees.
You can serve with fresh herbs, which will refresh the taste of the casserole.
Above were the best recipes for dumplings in the oven. It is rightly said that the simpler the dish, the tastier it is. However, there are some tricks that every housewife should know in order for this rule to apply.
- When the dumplings are cooked, add bay leaves and allspice to the broth. The aroma will immediately change, and the product will taste more pleasant. Pay attention to the salt. You must not allow the dumplings to be over-salted, because later they will be baked with salty mayonnaise. If there is too much crumbling, it will greatly spoil the casserole.
- Add as many different greens as possible. It could be dill, parsley, cilantro and even basil. When natural, fresh spices are used, any dish acquires a light aroma that cannot be compared with bagged powders.
- If you plan to bake dumplings, you don’t need to put too much. The quantity also depends on the shape. You want them to be spread out in one layer because if there is more they won't taste as good.
- When it comes to frying, use butter instead of vegetable oil. It is more tender and tastier. Vegetables can add extra fat to the dish, and this will completely ruin it.
- In the recipes above, only boiled dumplings were used. But some housewives bake raw. To make them bake better, they need liquid. To do this, you need to pour enough of it into the mayonnaise sauce so that the dumplings have something to absorb. The taste will be completely different, because the product was cooked in a creamy broth.
- The mold can be covered with foil and dumplings and other ingredients can be placed in it. Firstly, this will save you from burning and further washing of the dishes. Secondly, heated foil will help the casserole bake better.
That's all the features. Now you know how to bake dumplings in the oven. Try and experiment. Bon appetit!

Preparation:
1) To prepare this dish you will need frozen dumplings. Baby dumplings are perfect. The dumplings will be waiting in the freezer for their time!
2) Peel the onion, rinse under running cold water and chop finely using a knife. The onion can be lightly sautéed in vegetable oil until transparent, or left fresh. This is optional. In my recipe I add unfried onions.
3) Grate hard cheese on a coarse grater. To make it easier to grate the cheese, put it in the freezer for a short time.

The taste of dumplings cannot be forgotten; you only have to try this classic dish once. It is probably impossible to find a person born and raised in our country who would not cook a whole ton of dumplings during his student years, when small round dumplings with meat filling were a signature dish, a delicacy of young people.
As adults, we no longer eat dumplings so often, although today there are many interesting options for preparing them. For example, I recently made dumplings for the first time, baked in the oven with cheese and mayonnaise, which can be replaced with sour cream if desired.
This dish was a real discovery for me, since it can be incredibly difficult to come up with a quick, universal treat that can be made in the shortest possible time and does not require rare or expensive ingredients.
Did you know? The greatest beauty of dumplings in the oven is that they always turn out - cooking is accessible even to children who will gladly help their mother in the kitchen. So don’t be afraid to take it on, the dish is definitely worth your time and effort, and culinary experience is very valuable nowadays.
Kitchen appliances
Prepare all the necessary items and utensils for making dumplings fried in the oven: a deep longitudinal baking sheet with a diagonal of 25 cm or a one-piece cake mold (metal or glass), volumetric bowls (deep) with a capacity of 350 to 850 ml, several standard spoons (teaspoons and tablespoons), a frying pan with a lid and a non-stick coating with a diameter of 20 cm, measuring cup or kitchen scale, metal whisk, cutting board, medium grater, sieve and wooden spatula. In addition to the above, also prepare a blender or mixer, because without this important equipment, your filling may not mix well, and this will affect the taste of the dish.
Required Ingredients
The basis
Important! Try to choose high-quality dumplings for your dish, preferably with a short shelf life - this way you can determine whether they are made from real meat. In addition, you can use dumplings (for example, with potatoes or mushrooms) as a base, since they also turn out well in the oven.
Filling
- 450 – 500 g sour cream or mayonnaise;
- 200 g hard cheese;
- 5 chicken eggs;
- 5 g table salt;
- 8 g ground black pepper.
Additionally
- 30 ml sunflower oil;
- 50 g of greens (dill, parsley, cilantro).
Did you know? Ideal dumplings in the oven are made only with fresh sour cream, without “sourness” and excess water. It is better to choose mayonnaise without additives; only pure Provencal will reveal the whole range of flavor shades of your dish.
Cooking sequence
Preparation
Sauce
Did you know? Here it is appropriate to add other components to the sauce if desired, even completely non-standard ones: stewed bell peppers, tomatoes or even dried melon! However, try not to overload your sauce with ingredients, as the flavors will mix a lot and you may end up with a completely unexpected (and often unwanted) mixture.
Assembly and baking
Did you know? When baking dumplings using a multicooker, bake them in the “Baking” program or similar for about half an hour, and then be sure to open the lid and check visually for readiness. In the microwave, your dumplings should be cooked for about fifteen minutes on medium or low power, until golden brown.
Made! Now you know exactly how to cook dumplings on a baking sheet in the oven. Decorate the hot dish with sprigs of fresh-smelling herbs and halves of boiled eggs covered with mayonnaise - I guarantee that your loved ones will not leave such beauty for tomorrow and will gobble it up in an instant!
