Spread the cream cheese on top of the meat. I used cream cheese flavoured with tomato & pesto. If you prefer you can use regular cream cheese and add some kind of flavouring on your own.

It also works really well with feta cheese or mozzarella if you prefer that. There are also many other kinds of flavoured cream cheese, and if you like mushrooms I recommend to add that as well.

Add the onion. I melted some butter in a pan and fried the onion for a couple of minutes but that's optional ;-)
