Swiss Cheese Schnitzel Recipes

PORK AND SWISS CHEESE SCHNITZEL

Steps:

• Put the escalopes between sheets of baking paper and bash with a rolling pin or a heavy pan until very thin (about ½ cm). Lay 1 slice of prosciutto on one escalope then top with 2 slices of cheese. Top with the other slice of prosciutto then the other escalope. Push the edges together to seal everything inside. Repeat with the other schnitzel.
• Put the flour, egg and breadcrumbs on separate plates. Dust the schnitzels in flour, then dip in egg, then breadcrumbs. Repeat the egg and breadcrumb so you have a good layer of crumb. Heat a cm or so of oil in a large frying pan then fry the schnitzel for 3 minutes each side until golden and crisp. Serve with watercress salad.
