Melt the butter in a pot and cook the grated onion for 4 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the fatty ground beef and brown it for 8 minutes, breaking up large pieces.
Add the milk, breadcrumbs, salt, black pepper, ground cloves, and allspice to the pot.
Cook the cretons over low heat for 55 minutes, stirring often, until spreadable.
Smooth the mixture with a fork or potato masher and divide it into small bowls.
Rest the cretons for 10 minutes, then serve with toasted bread and cornichon pickles.
💡 Tip: Yağlı dana döş kıyma kullanın; çok yağsız kıyma cretonsu kuru yapar.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve cretons on toasted bread with pickled cornichons and strong tea if desired.
