Ingredients
8 medium sized veal steaks, cut from leg
4 thin slices of ham (about size of steaks)
4 thin slices gruydre (Swiss) cheese flour
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon water
Dry breadcrumbs
Oil for frying
Directions
Flatten veal steaks between two sheets of plastic wrap by beating with pounder or a rolling pin.
Pair steaks together so that each piece is of a similar size.
Place a slice each of ham and cheese between each pair of steaks, keeping ham and cheese 1/4-inch from edge all round.
Beat edges to seal.
Coat veal with seasoned flour, brush with egg carefully, then coat with breadcrumbs, pressing them on firmly.
Allow to stand 10 minutes, then shallow fry in hot oil over a moderate heat until a light golden brown, turn carefully and brown other side.
It will take about 5 minutes to completely cook the veal.
Drain on absorbent paper and serve piping hot.
