Veal Scallops Cordon Bleu Recipe
Servings: 10
Ingredients
- 2 lbs. veal, cut into 12 scallops & pounded to 1/16 inch thick
- 6 thin slices of Polish ham or possibly prosciutto
- 6 thin slices of Swiss Gruyere cheese
- 9 tbsp. sweet butter
- Salt & freshly grnd black pepper
- 3/4 c. bread crumbs, seasoned with salt and pepper
- 1/2 c. flour
- 3 Large eggs, beaten with 5 tbsp. heavy cream
- 1/4 c. vegetable oil
- 1 recipe for Cordon Bleu Sauce (below)
Directions
- Brush one side of each veal scallop and each slice of ham and cheese with 4 Tbsp. of the butter, melted. Place a slice of ham and cheese between two of the veal scallops, with the buttered slices on the inside. Do this with all the scallops, and trim to make 6 neat sandwiches. Sprinkle the veal sandwiches on both sides with a little salt and pepper. Dredge the veal sandwiches in a mix of the seasoned bread crumbs and flour and chill for 2 to 3 hrs. The butter will congeal and hold the sandwiches together.
- When ready to cook them, dredge the scallops in the bread crumb mix again, then in the egg-cream mix and again in the bread crumbs. Heat 3 Tbsp. of the butter with 2 Tbsp. of the oil in a frying pan over high heat. Brown the scallops on both sides, 2 to 3 min per side. Place in baking dish and add in the remaining 2 Tbsp. butter. Bake for 15 min in a 375 degree preheated oven. Pour Cordon Blue Sauce on and serve. Serves 6.
