Instructions

  1. In a frying pan, caramelize the white onion over low heat with the butter for about half an hour, or slightly longer, until its sweetness comes out.
  2. In a bowl, combine the veal and lamb without kneading, so that the air remains in the mixture.

  4. Season both sides of the meat with salt and black pepper.

  6. In the same frying pan, flip the hamburger patty and let it cook for 3 minutes on the second side.
  7. In the same frying pan, place cheddar cheese on top of the hamburger patty after flipping it, so that it melts from the heat.

  11. In the same frying pan or bowl, add cooking cream to the mushrooms and blend until the sauce is smooth.
  12. In the same frying pan, add Kashkaval cheese to the mushroom and cream sauce over low heat until it melts.
