Notes

  • For a spicy kick, you can add some red pepper flakes or black pepper to the cheese mixture filling.
  • * I used eye round cutlets sold as "sandwich steaks" because that’s what they offer in my grocery store, but any cut will work as long as they are nice and thin
  • * Mary Ann's rule is that these should be finger food: 2-3 per person as an appetizer or 4-6 per person as an entree
  • If the cutlets are too large after pounding them out, you can cut them in half.
  • For a spicy kick, you can add some red pepper flakes or black pepper to the cheese mixture filling.
  • Don't exaggerate with the filling, otherwise it will overflow during cooking.
