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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Remove the plastic wrap and sprinkle both sides of the cutlets with salt and ground black pepper.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Heat the vegetable oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Transfer the cooked Pork Cordon Bleu to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 10

Remove any toothpicks before serving. Serve hot with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes or a fresh salad.
