The luxurious mushroom sauce, made with fresh mushrooms, garlic, and Marsala wine, adds deep, earthy richness that complements the tender meat. Serve with roasted potatoes or buttered noodles for a complete, restaurant-quality experience at home.Directions
-
Place 2 slices of ham on each of 4 veal cutlets.
-
Sprinkle generously with the grated Romano and Parmesan cheeses.
-
Top with the remaining 4 veal cutlets, then press edges together tightly to seal the filling inside.
-
Dredge the sealed cutlets lightly in seasoned flour, dip them in the beaten egg, and roll thoroughly in the bread crumbs.
-
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
-
Sauté the breaded cutlets until golden brown on both sides, turning once.
-
Remove cutlets from the pan and set aside on a plate, keeping them warm.
-
Add shallots, green bell pepper, and garlic to the same skillet; sauté until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
-
Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cracked black pepper; cook until mushrooms release their moisture.
-
Reduce heat to low, return the cutlets to the skillet, and simmer for 2 minutes to heat through, turning once.
-
Meanwhile, combine the cream of mushroom soup and milk in a small saucepan.
-
Bring the soup mixture to a boil, stirring often to prevent sticking.
-
Remove the soup from heat and stir in the Marsala wine.
-
Pour the soup mixture over the cutlets in the skillet; continue cooking briefly until the sauce thickens to desired consistency.
-
Transfer veal to a heated serving platter, spoon the sauce over the meat, and garnish with fresh parsley.
