For the Patties:

1. Place all ingredients in a bowl except for the butter and knead very well. If using bread, soak it in the milk for a short while.
2. In another bowl, mix the mozzarella with the cream cheese. Take a small amount of the mince mixture and form it into a ball.
3. Flatten it in your palm, making an indentation in the middle, and place about 1 tablespoon of the cheese mixture inside.
4. Close carefully and place the patty on a baking tray lined with non-stick parchment paper. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
5. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C until golden brown, about 35-40 minutes.

For the Mushroom Sauce:

6. Pour the olive oil into a pan, and when hot, add the onion. Let it sauté, then add the mushrooms. Sauté until all their liquids evaporate, season with salt and pepper, and add the rosemary.
7. Deglaze with the wine and let the alcohol evaporate. Pour in the cream, and when it thickens, the sauce is ready.
8. Meanwhile, prepare the mashed potatoes: Peel the potatoes, cut them into small pieces, and put them to boil! Once they boil, salt them.
9. Once they are ready, drain them and place them in a bowl. Mash them with a special tool. Add extra salt if needed, pepper, butter, and cream. Mash well until you have a fluffy mash.
10. Remove the patties from the oven and brush them with butter. Serve the patties with mashed potatoes and mushroom sauce.
