How to Make Swiss Veal Supreme Escalope De Veau Cordon Bleu

  1. Cut veal into 8 (4-ounce) pieces.
  2. Place each veal cutlet between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to 1/8-inch thickness using a meat mallet.
  3. Top 4 veal cutlets with 1 slice (2 ounces) of ham and 2 slices (1 ounce total) of Swiss cheese.
  4. Top each with a remaining veal cutlet and gently press the edges to seal. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
  5. In three separate shallow dishes, place flour, a whisked mixture of 1 large egg and 2 tablespoons milk, and breadcrumbs.
  6. Dredge each veal cutlet in flour, then dip in the egg mixture, and finally coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
  7. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat.
  8. Add the veal cutlets to the skillet and cook for approximately 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Remove the veal cutlets to a warm platter and remove toothpicks.
  10. (Optional) Deglaze the pan with 1/4 cup dry white wine, scraping up any browned bits. Pour the sauce over the veal cutlets.
  11. Garnish with fresh watercress and serve immediately.
