Step 1: You will need
- 8 thinly cut veal steaks
- 4 small slices of ham
- 4 slices of Swiss cheese or cheddar
- 50 g plain flour
- 3 eggs
- 60 ml milk
- 250 g dried breadcrumbs
- 50 g butter
- 4 tbsp vegetable oil
- freshly ground pepper
- salt
- 1 knife
- 1 chopping board
- 1 bowl
- 1 frying pan
- 1 slotted spoon
- kitchen paper
- 1 spatula
- 2 trays or plates
Step 2: Shape the veal
Trim the edges of the meat to form an oval shape. You will need two pieces of veal of equal size to make one serving of veal cordon bleu.
Step 3: Add the filling
Put a piece of cheese in the middle of a veal slice. Then a piece of ham on top of the cheese. Make sure that the filling is smaller than the veal slices and then place the second veal slice over the top. Press the two edges of the veal firmly together.
Step 4: Prepare the coating
Spread the flour onto a tray and season it with salt and pepper. Beat the eggs and milk together in a bowl. Put the breadcrumbs onto a tray and prepare to coat the steaks.
Step 5: Coat the veal
First coat the steaks lightly with the flour. Then dip them into the eggs and milk mixture. Finally, roll them in the breadcrumbs. Repeat the egg and breadcrumb process to give a good thick coating to each steak.
Step 6: Cook the veal
Heat the butter and oil in a frying pan on a moderate heat. When hot, add the veal steaks and cook gently on both sides until golden brown.
This will be around 5 minutes on each side.
Step 7: Drain and serve
Place the cooked steaks on kitchen paper to drain off any excess fat and serve immediately.
