Spring cordon bleu
Ingredients
for 4 person
8 slice | cured ham |
120 g | Brie (e.g. Brie filled with fresh garlic), cut into four equal pieces |
4 | veal steaks (approx. 160 g each), cut by the butcher for stuffing, pounded flat |
½ tsp | salt |
a little | pepper |
2 tbsp | white flour |
1 | egg, beaten |
100 g | panko breadcrumbs |
6 tbsp | clarified butter |
How it's done
To stuff the steaks
Place 2 slices of ham on top of each other (overlapping), top with a piece of cheese and shape into a parcel. Place the cheese parcel on top of half a steak. Fold the other half over the top, press the edges together firmly. Repeat the process for the remaining steaks. Season the meat, secure with toothpicks if necessary.
For the crumb coating
Roll the meat in the flour in batches, shake off the excess, dip in the egg and then the panko breadcrumbs. Press firmly on the crumb coating.
To fry
Heat the clarified butter in a non-stick frying pan. Reduce the heat, fry the cordon bleus over a medium heat for approx. 4 mins. on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
