Ingredients
- 2 pieces veal scallopini
- pinch Black Pepper Ground
- 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
Instructions
- 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.
