Ingredients
- Pork – 1.3 lbs (600 grams)
- Fresh Mushrooms (preferably champignons) – 14 oz (400 grams)
- Onions (medium-sized) – 2 units, approx. 10.5 oz (300 grams)
- Refined Vegetable Oil – 2 tablespoons (35 grams)
- Sour Cream (25% fat) – 1 cup (200 grams)
- Cheese (semi-hard variety recommended) – 7 oz (200 grams)
- Chicken Egg – 1 large (60 grams)
- Salt – to taste
- Ground Black Pepper – to taste
Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Pork: Cut the pork into 1 cm thick steaks. Using a meat mallet, tenderize each piece. Season both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Cook the Mushrooms: Slice the mushrooms thinly. In a skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and sauté until they are soft and their liquid has evaporated.
Sauté the Onions: Cut the onions into half-moons and fry them in another skillet with vegetable oil until they turn golden brown. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Layer the Dish: In a baking dish, arrange the pork steaks in a single layer. Top with the sautéed mushrooms and onions.
Create the Creamy Topping: In a bowl, mix the sour cream, half of the grated cheese, the egg, and a pinch each of salt and pepper until well combined.
Assemble: Spread the creamy mixture over the onion layer. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 30 minutes.
Final Touch: Remove the foil, sprinkle the remaining grated cheese on top, and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes at 350°F (180°C) until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
Serve hot and enjoy a rich, flavorful meal that brings a taste of France to your table. Bon appétit!
