Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 2 pieces Veal Scallopini
  • pinch Black Pepper
  • pinch Salt
  • 2 Cheese slices (cheddar or gruyere preferably)
  • 2 Ham slices (or prosciutto slice)
  • 1.5 ounces All-purpose Flour
  • 1 small Egg
  • 2 ounces Bread Crumbs
  • 2 Tablespoons Oil
  • 2 Toothpicks

Instruction

  • Flatten your veal filet to stretch out. Take care not to create holes into the meat. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.
  • Take a slice of ham and a slice of cheese, place the cheese on the ham and close the ham in such a way so that the cheese is inside and doesn't cross the ham border.
  • Then take the wrapped ham/cheese slices and place on a veal filet. Fold meat over ham and cheese to create a pocket, seal with a toothpick on one side.
  • Prepare 3 plates, one with all purpose flour, another with the egg and the last one with the breadcrumbs.
  • Drag the veal cordon bleu pocket first through the flour, then through the egg and coat at last with the bread crumbs.
  • Heat up a pan with the cooking oil. Shallow fry the cordon bleu golden on both sides over high to medium heat.
  • Remove and discard toothpick before serving. Serve hot with a side.
