4. Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a pan, add the mushroom slices, season with salt and pepper, stir and fry for about 4 minutes. Then add the sliced onion and fry for another 3 minutes.
5. Now add the cut lettuce to the mushrooms and sauté briefly, then stir everything and remove the pan from the heat.

8. For the breaded version, turn the cheese halves in the beaten egg and breadcrumbs before frying.
