   Using a 3 tbsp scoop, scoop the mixture and form into oval patties. Dip them into dry bread crumbs, so they are covered with it from all the sides.

   Preheat a large skillet on a medium heat, add a tablespoon of vegetable oil and a tablespoon of butter. Depending on diameter of your skillet, you might want to add one extra tablespoon of oil. Sauté the cutlets for about 5 minutes on each side, covered with a top lid.
