Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork cutlets
- 4 slices Ham
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
Place each pork cutlet between two pieces of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet to pound the cutlets to a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
Remove the plastic wrap and sprinkle both sides of the cutlets with salt and ground black pepper.
Place a slice of ham and a slice of Swiss cheese on top of each cutlet. Roll each cutlet tightly, securing it with a toothpick if necessary.
Set up a breading station: Place the flour in one shallow dish, beat the eggs in a second shallow dish, and place the breadcrumbs in a third shallow dish.
Dredge each rolled cutlet first in flour, then coat it in the beaten eggs, and finally press it into the breadcrumbs to evenly cover the surface.
Heat the vegetable oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Carefully place the breaded pork rolls in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the breading is golden brown and crispy.
Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the pork is cooked through and the cheese has melted inside.
Transfer the cooked Pork Cordon Bleu to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Remove any toothpicks before serving. Serve hot with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes or a fresh salad.
