Veal Cordon Bleu
- 8 veal cutlets (about 1 pound)
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 (3/4-ounce) slices fat-free Swiss cheese
- 1 (1-ounce) slice lean cooked ham
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons egg substitute
- 1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs
- Cooking spray
- 1 tablespoon reduced-calorie margarine
- Fresh parsley sprigs (optional)
- Lemon slices (optional)
- Preheat oven to 375u0b0.
- Place cutlets between 2 sheets of wax paper, and flatten to 1/8-inch thickness. Sprinkle 4 cutlets with pepper. Cut each cheese slice in half; place 1 half-slice in center of each peppered cutlet. Cut ham slice into 4 pieces; place evenly on top of cheese. Place remaining 4 cutlets over ham; pound edges to seal.
- Dredge cutlets in flour. Dip in egg substitute; dredge in breadcrumbs. Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; add margarine. Place over medium-high heat until margarine melts. Add cutlets; cook 2 minutes on each side or until lightly browned.
- Place cutlets in an 11- x 7-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake, uncovered, at 375u0b0 for 20 minutes. Garnish with parsley sprigs and lemon slices, if desired.
