    Finely grate the cheese. Mix with egg yolk. Wash oregano, shake dry, pluck off the leaves. Remove the mushroom sauce from the stove. Mix a little sauce and egg-cheese mix, then stir everything into the rest of the sauce. Remove meat from the oven, season with salt and pepper. Add the meat to the sauce, possibly with the meat juice, and sprinkle with pancetta and oregano. Serve with toast and salad.
