Steps:

• If cutlets are thicker than 1/8 inch, pound them between sheets of plastic wrap with flat side of meat pounder. Using cheese plane, shave enough cheese to make a double layer for each of 4 cutlets.
• Pat dry 2 cutlets of the same shape and arrange 1 cutlet on a work surface. Put 1 slice of ham on cutlet, trimming ham to leave a 1/4-inch border of veal around the ham, then arrange a double layer of cheese on ham and top with second cutlet. Lightly pound 1/4-inch border around cutlets' outer edges to seal veal sandwich. Make 3 more sandwiches in same manner.
• Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Stir together bread crumbs, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large shallow baking dish. Stir together flour, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in another large baking dish. Whisk together eggs, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a third large baking dish.
• Dredge 1 veal sandwich in flour, knocking off excess, then dip in egg to coat, letting excess drip off, and dredge in bread crumbs, patting to help them adhere. Transfer coated sandwich to a rack set on a baking sheet. Dredge and coat remaining sandwiches in same manner. Chill, uncovered, 1 hour, and let stand at room temperature 30 minutes before cooking.
• Heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides. Add 2 veal sandwiches, then reduce heat to moderate and cook, turning over once, until golden, about 4 minutes total. Transfer to plates and wipe out skillet with paper towels. Cook remaining sandwiches in remaining butter and oil in same manner.

VEAL CORDON BLEU RECIPE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 325° F / 160°C. To make the potato salad, boil the baby potatoes in salted water under tender-about 8-10 minutes. Drain, peel, and half potatoes and place in a medium bowl. For the dressing, mix the beef or vegetable stock, apple cider vinegar, and mustard and add to potatoes. Set aside. Before serving, canola oil, salt, and pepper to desired texture and taste. 2. To make the yogurt sauce, mix Greek yogurt, chives, and garlic, and add salt and pepper to taste. Set aside. 3. To make the cucumber salad, add sliced cucumbers to a sieve. Sprinkle with salt and leave for at least 10 minutes to remove excess moisture. Add olive oil, 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, and white balsamic vinegar to sieve and incorporate. Allow to drain and set aside. 4. To make the veal Cordon bleu, cover cutlets loosely in cling wrap. With a tenderizer or heavy knife (preferably a cleaver), carefully pound them until they are soft and thin-about 1/2 inch thick. Remove from cling wrap. Spread mustard onto the cutlets and cover each with a layer of ham, a layer of arugula, and a generous sprinkle of Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper. 5. To make the breading, in a medium or large bowl, combine cornflakes, breadcrumbs, and remaining sesame seeds. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs until yolks and whites are blended. To bread the cutlets, roll them each in flour, then dip them into the egg mixture, and then in cornflake mixture. Repeat so that each cutlet gets a full second coating. 6. In a large frying pan, heat the oil or clarified butter and fry cutlets until they are cooked through and golden brown-about 6-8 minutes. Remove excess oil with paper towels, place on a baking sheet, and bake in the oven for 10 minutes. The cutlets should be crispy but not burnt. Serve with cucumber-sesame salad and yogurt sauce.
