Veal Cordon Bleu
"This is so good! I love ordering veal dishes at French restaraunts and decided to try making this myself. I was surprised that it isn't that hard. I found this recipe in a 1973 Betty Crocker cookbook. Prep and cook times approximate. Note: If you don't have a wooden mallet, the edge of a plate can be used to pound meat."

Four stars because my family enjoyed it so much. I feel it needs something to zip it up a bit - perhaps hot Italian procuitto or jalepeno cheese, I'm not sure. It was relatively simple to make and was nice and moist. I served it with scalloped potatoes, home-made cole slaw, home-made red tomato chow-chow and fresh bread. When I come up with a solution to MY problem regarding the blandness of the dish, I'll up-date this review to say what was done. If my DH enjoyed it though, it had to be good because he does not care for veal. Thanks for posting. -
I used Italian seasoning instead of allspice, but otherwise followed the recipe. It came out great and is now on my list of favorites. Thanks!

I love to cook, but don't have a lot of time to do it, since I work full time. I like to try a new recipe every Saturday, if time allows.
