Fennel cutlets, a delicious and easy-to-make main course, are great whether eaten hot or at room temperature and are filled with ham and cheese. The fennel cordon bleu is baked, but if you like, you can cook it in an air fryer for quicker cooking, making your fennel cutlets in the air fryer crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The stuffed fennel cutlets, being baked, are perfect even for children, allowing them to eat vegetables in a tasty and different way. I decided to prepare the cutlets after hearing how good BAKED BREADED FENNEL was, adding some ham and cheese, you’ll have a tasty main course.
