4. Season, to taste, with pepper and remove from the heat.
5. Lay the veal cutlets flat on a clean work surface, so that 1 of the short sides is facing you, i.e.
6. the veal cutlets should stretch the long way away from you.
7. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
8. Divide the besciamella mixture equally among the veal cutlets, spreading it across the center of the meat so that you leave a border of meat on all sides.
9. Starting with side closest to you, carefully roll the veal slices into small rolls, much as you would roll a burrito, being careful not to let the bescimella slide out the sides.
10. Secure with toothpicks.
