Veal Cordon Bleu image

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.
