Veal Cordon Bleu

Ingredients

• 8 veal cutlets (about 1 pound)
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 (3/4-ounce) slices fat-free Swiss cheese
• 1 (1-ounce) slice lean cooked ham
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons egg substitute
• 1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs
• Cooking spray
• 1 tablespoon reduced-calorie margarine
• Fresh parsley sprigs (optional)
• Lemon slices (optional)

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 375°.
2. Place cutlets between 2 sheets of wax paper, and flatten to 1/8-inch thickness. Sprinkle 4 cutlets with pepper. Cut each cheese slice in half; place 1 half-slice in center of each peppered cutlet. Cut ham slice into 4 pieces; place evenly on top of cheese. Place remaining 4 cutlets over ham; pound edges to seal.
3. Dredge cutlets in flour. Dip in egg substitute; dredge in breadcrumbs. Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; add margarine. Place over medium-high heat until margarine melts. Add cutlets; cook 2 minutes on each side or until lightly browned.
4. Place cutlets in an 11- x 7-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 20 minutes. Garnish with parsley sprigs and lemon slices, if desired.
