Method

1. Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Brown the mushrooms and half the onion in the oil over medium-high heat, 6 minutes, adding the garlic for the last minute.
2. Work the beef with the egg, oats, the rest of the onion and the paprika, and shape two thick patties on a lined baking sheet. Press a deep hollow into each with a spoon and fill it with the mushrooms.
3. Bake 18–20 minutes, until the beef reads 165°F (74°C), then spoon the yogurt over, scatter the mozzarella and bake 4 minutes more. Parsley at the end.
