Equipment

  • Baking parchment
  • paper towels for draining
  • baking tray with rack

Ingredients

  • 4 large veal cutlets (1.3 oz/600g)
  • ½ cup flour (75g)
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 1 + ¾ cups breadcrumbs (150g)
  • 4 slices prosciutto (100g)
  • ½ cup heavy cream (double cream UK) (120ml)
  • ¼ cup parmesan freshly grated (25g)
  • 1 pinch nutmeg
  • 1 clove garlic
  • olive oil for frying
  • salt and pepper to season

Instructions

Prepare the cutlets

  • Place the breadcrumbs and flour on two separate plates and season each with a little salt. Add the eggs to a bowl and whisk until beaten.
  • Place the veal cutlets in between some baking parchment and pound them to ¼ inch thick (½cm) using a meat mallet or rolling pin then season each one with salt and pepper.
  • Dredge each cutlet in flour then dip and egg and breadcrumbs until completely coated.
  • Heat around 2 tablespoons of olive oil on a medium heat in a large pan and fry the veal cutlets on both sides until browned and crispy (you will need to add a little more oil as you go). Drain the cutlets on paper towels and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas mark 4.

To make the sauce

  • Finely chop the garlic and fry in a small pan with 1-2 teaspoons of olive oil for 1 minute until fragrant (don’t let it brown).
  • Add the cream and bring it to a boil then turn the heat down low and add the parmesan, nutmeg and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until the cheese has melted and the sauce has thickened. Turn off the heat.

Bake

  • Lay the veal cutlets on a rack on top of a baking tray and top each cutlet with a slice of prosciutto.
  • Spoon over a little parmesan cream (around 1-2 tablespoons on each) bake in the oven for 10 minutes until the prosciutto is crispy and golden, serve.
