Ingredients with Measurements:
- 2 lbs. veal loin, trimmed and butterflied
- 1 lb. wild mushrooms, sliced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp. butter
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste

Special equipment needed:
- Meat mallet
- Kitchen twine
- Large oven-safe skillet or roasting pan

Step-by-step instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.

2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and sauté until translucent.

3. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and are browned.

4. Add the white wine and cook until the liquid has reduced by half.

5. Add the heavy cream and cook until the sauce has thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

6. Lay the butterflied veal loin flat on a cutting board. Cover with plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet until it is an even thickness.

7. Spread the mushroom mixture over the veal, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.

8. Roll the veal tightly, starting from the short end. Tie with kitchen twine to secure.

9. In a small bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese.

10. Melt the butter in the skillet over medium heat. Roll the veal in the breadcrumb mixture to coat.
