Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200° C. Lay the meat on a chopping board, trim any unwanted fat and flatten it with a meat tenderizer to make the escalope as thin as possible. Then, season the meat with salt and pepper according to taste.

Prepare three plates for the coating of the meat, one with flour, one with beaten eggs and one with breadcrumbs. Dip the escalope in flour, pressing down with your fingers to coat all sides. Next, dip in the eggs and finally in the breadcrumbs.

To ensure a crispy finish, quickly place the breaded meat on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and put in the oven for 15 minutes, flipping the escalope halfway through cooking time. Check that both sides are nice and crisp before removing it from the oven.

In the meantime, cut the mozzarella and blue cheese into chunks and chop the walnuts into pieces. Remove the escalope from the oven and sprinkle it with mozzarella, blue cheese, and walnuts. Put back in the oven for 3 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Serve immediately with french fries and fresh leafy green salad.
