Cachopo ingredients

2 Asturian beef fillets
50 g. Gamonéu PDO cheese
110 g. fresh thistle mushrooms
100 g. white flour
2 free-range eggs
200 g. breadcrumbs
A pinch of salt
Black pepper
Sunflower oil
Chips

Elaboration of the cachopo

Sauté the mushrooms with salt and pepper to taste.
Prepare the two fillets with a pinch of salt and pepper.
On top of one of the fillets we put half of the mushrooms, we incorporate the Gamonéu cheese spreading it well, and on top the rest of the mushrooms to finish with another fillet.
Beat the eggs well so that the batter adheres well.
Pass the fillets very carefully through the flour, then through the egg and finally through the breadcrumbs, covering the cachopo well.
Fry in plenty of hot oil; when it is golden on one side, we turn it over so that it is crispy on both sides.
When removing it from the pan, we will put it on absorbent paper so that it does not remain oily.
We accompany with fries.
