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.

Steps:

• In a small bowl lightly beat eggs and milk. With a pastry brush coat one side of each veal scallop with egg mixture, then sprinkle lightly with flour. Reserve excess egg mixture.Wrap each strip of cheese in a slice of ham and place it lengthwise in the center of the flour-coated side of each scallop. Fold scallop in half lengthwise to make a 6-inch roll, enclosing ham and cheese completely. Press edges together to seal tightly. One at a time, roll scallops in bread crumbs, dip in remaining egg mixture, then in bread crumbs again. Set side by side on a plate and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.In a large heavy skillet over medium heat cook scallops in oil and butter for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown and crisp, turning as needed with tongs. Drain on paper towels.Place on a heated platter, top each with a lemon slice and sprinkle with paprika.* Since veal is very expensive in the United States, boned chicken breasts or pork tenderloin make a very good substitute for the veal. Pound the chicken or pork to 1/4 -inch thickness and proceed as for the veal scallops.
