Cutlets with Prosciutto and Fontina

Yields1 Serving

This is a year-round favorite in our house and it's equally delicious with chicken or turkey. If you're at Casa Pace e Gioia, use the cutlets that are already breaded from Alessandro, Ivana, and Eleonora's butcher shop in Colmurano and skip the first few steps.

Cutlets with Prosciutto and Fontina

 4 Thinly sliced chicken or turkey cutlets
 4 slices of prosciutto crudo
 4 slices of fontina cheese
 2 eggs, beaten
 0.50 cup or about 50 grams dried breadcrumbs
 2 tbsp grated parmigiano reggiano
 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
 3 tbsp unsalted butter
 salt and pepper
1

Pound the cutlets thin if they are not already.

2

If your cutlets are not already breaded, combine the breadcrumbs with the shredded parmigiano reggiano and add salt and pepper.
Dip the cutlets into the egg mixture, then the breadcrumb mixture.

3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter on high.
Fry the breaded cutlets until golden.

4

Drain the cutlets and put them on a backing sheet or dish, and cover with a slice of prosciutto and fontina cheese.

5

Broil them in the oven until the cheese is melty.

6

Serve immediately.
Buon Appetito!
