Wash the spring onions and slice into rings. Place the meat, tomatoes, and spring onions in a baking dish. Pick, wash, and finely chop the basil leaves. Bring the cream to a boil in a saucepan. Stir in the cream cheese and let it melt. Then season with salt and pepper, and stir in the basil. Pour the sauce into the baking dish. Slice the mozzarella and spread it on the meat. If you like, you can add herb butter and grated Parmesan cheese to the meat. Cook in a preheated oven at 175-200°C (fan oven) for about 30 minutes. Serve with rice or hash browns.
