Pork Cordon Bleu
Our pork Cordon Bleu recipe is a perfect thing to do with those supermarket pork loin steaks that are cut so thin they seem to dry out as soon as they hit the pan. Stuffing the steaks with ham and cheese and then covering them in crispy breadcrumbs creates a pocket of hot steam as it cooks, ensuring the loin doesn't dry out. Unashamedly retro, but a real crowd-pleaser too! Serve with potatoes and greens of your choice, or stuff it into bread for a seriously good sandwich.
Ingredients
- 2 pork loin steaks
- 2 slices of Gouda

- 1 large egg , beaten with a pinch of salt and dash of milk
- 50g of Panko breadcrumbs

Method
Trim away any fat, then butterfly the pork loin steaks. Place a slice of ham and a slice of cheese inside, then fold the steaks back up. Season on both sides with salt and pepper

Set out a breadcrumbing station with a plate of flour, a dish of the beaten egg, a plate of breadcrumbs and a clean plate or tray for the finished product. First dip the pork in the flour, followed by the egg, then the breadcrumbs. For an extra-crispy finish, dip them in the egg and breadcrumbs again. Ensure both steaks are completely covered in breadcrumbs
