tact so filet is not completely cut through. Season with salt,pepper and garlic. 3. In cen- ter of each filet place 2 slices prosciutto, one slice mozzarella and several slices of truffle or mushrooms. 4. Close halves of each filet like a sandwich. Press meat together around edges to seal. 5. Beat parsley and grated cheese into eggs. 6. Dip meat into milk, then into bread crumbs and finally into eggs. 7.

Pour a little pan juice over each filet, then garnish with sprigs of watercress or en- dive.
