Meat Nests with Mushrooms

Finely chop the mushrooms and sauté them in vegetable oil until cooked through. Season with salt and stir in the sour cream.

Mix the ground meat with finely chopped onion (or blended if you prefer), minced garlic, an egg, salt, and pepper. Work the mixture well until combined, then shape into flat patties with a small indent in the center—like little nests.

Fill each indent with the sautéed mushrooms, top with a tomato slice brushed with sour cream or mayo, and sprinkle with grated cheese. If your oven browns the top too quickly, you can add the cheese in the last 10 minutes of baking.
