• Dip each cordon bleu successively in:
1. Flour (tap off any excess).
2. Beaten egg (making sure to coat the entire surface).
3. Breadcrumbs (press firmly to adhere).
• For an even thicker and crispier crust, you can dip it a second time in the egg and then the breadcrumbs.
4. Cooking:
• In a large skillet, heat the butter and oil mixture over medium heat (the butter adds flavor, the oil prevents it from burning).
• Cook the cordon bleu for about 5 to 7 minutes per side. They should be golden brown and the cheese should be starting to melt inside.
• If the cordon bleu are very thick, you can finish cooking them for 5 minutes in a 180°C (350°F) oven to ensure the meat is cooked through without burning the breading.
5. Serving:
• Serve immediately, piping hot, with green beans, homemade mashed potatoes, or small pasta shells to keep with the theme!
