Baked veal cordon bleu is an easy-to-make main course that is loved by both adults and children. You can prepare them in just a few minutes and bake them in the oven without worrying about the smell of frying in the house or oil splattering all over the kitchen. Cordon bleu are pocket-like dishes filled with a delicious and melty filling of ham and cheese, making it a simple yet very tasty dish. The veal slices will remain tender, and the outer breading will be crispy and thick. The veal cordon bleu are an alternative to the usual chicken slices and I must say they are really good and have a delicate flavor. To stuff these homemade cordon bleu, you can use traditional cooked ham, smoked Prague ham, herb-flavored cooked ham, or grilled cooked ham, each giving a different flavor to your cordon bleu. For cheese, you can use mozzarella, provolone, smoked scamorza, or any melty cheese. Also try the CHICKEN CORDON BLEU and the AIR FRYER CORDON BLEU.

How to make Baked Cordon Bleu

Let’s start preparing the Baked Cordon Bleu by cutting the cheese into thin slices or sticks. Crack the eggs into a plate, beat them with a fork for a few minutes until they are foamy, and pour some breadcrumbs into another plate. Preheat the convection oven to 356°F, line the baking tray with parchment paper.
Take the veal slice and place some cooked ham on one side,
the cheese
and fold the slice over, pressing the edges well to seal them.
Next, dip each veal cordon bleu first in the beaten egg,
then in the breadcrumbs, making sure it adheres well,
then again in the egg
and finally once more in the breadcrumbs. This double breading will make the homemade cordon bleu perfect with a thick and tasty crust. Continue this way with the other veal slices.
Place the cordon bleu on the baking tray as you prepare them. Then add a pinch of salt on top of the breading
and a drizzle of oil or spray it with the sprayer I made.
Bake in a preheated convection oven at 356°F and cook the cordon bleu for 20 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking, so they have time to brown on both sides.
When the Baked Cordon Bleu are ready, take them out of the oven and serve them hot.
