Ingredients
- Turkey Fillets : 4
- White ham (slices) : 4
- Emmental Cheese (grated) : 4 tablespoons
- Pesto rosso : 4 tablespoons
- Flour : 4 tablespoons
- Breadcrumbs : 4 tablespoons
- Egg : 1
- Unsalted butter : 1 pinch
- Olive oil : 1 pinch
- Salt : 1 pinch
- Pepper : 1 pinch
Preparation steps
-
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. -
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. -
Spread a tablespoon of Pesto Rosso on each slice of ham.
-
Then add the equivalent of a tablespoon of grated Emmental cheese.
-
Finally, close the fillets in half, insisting on the sides to "glue" them together.
-
Place the flour in a shallow dish, the breadcrumbs in a second and the beaten egg in a third.
-
Start by dipping the cords in flour, then in beaten egg.
-
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.
