Tip

For even crispier cords, make a second breading by dipping the breaded cords in egg and then breadcrumbs.

Preparation steps

Step 1
Place turkey fillets on a board and flatten with a rolling pin.
Season with a pinch of salt and a twist of the pepper mill.
Step 2
Place a slice of ham on each fillet.
Be sure to leave a margin so that you can close the cordons bleu tightly once they've been garnished.
Step 3
Spread a tablespoon of Pesto Rosso on each slice of ham.
Step 4
Then add the equivalent of a tablespoon of grated Emmental cheese.
Step 5
Finally, close the fillets in half, insisting on the sides to "glue" them together.
Step 6
Place the flour in a shallow dish, the breadcrumbs in a second and the beaten egg in a third.
Step 7
Start by dipping the cords in flour, then in beaten egg.
Step 8
Finish with the breadcrumbs.
In a hot frying pan, drizzle with olive oil and add a knob of butter.
Brown the cords bleu for a good five minutes on each side over medium heat.
They're ready when the crust is golden brown.
