When the first French cook gave a slice of beef (possibly pork or turkey) to the shape of a miniature cigar, he had no idea that he had become the author of a new culinary masterpiece. Today, meat rolls (roule) have become the decoration of festive tables, hearty and nutritious everyday food. And how many delicious toppings can be “hidden” in each product, creating a real surprise dish from it!

Chicken appetizer "Cordon Blue"

Let's start our small but very tasty gastronomic excursion, naturally, with a recipe for haute French cuisine.

Ingredients Composition:

  • smoked ham (not very oily) - 200 g;
  • eggs - 2 pcs.;
  • chicken breasts - 2 pcs.;
  • Emmental cheese - 200 g;
  • lean oil;
  • lemon juice or soy sauce - 20 ml;

  3. We place the eggs in the bowl, add seasonings, shake the mixture a little. In a separate plate, mix curry, salt, breadcrumbs, grated cheese shavings. Since white poultry meat has a neutral taste, we select a fermented milk product with pronounced shades (Emmental or Russian cheese) that can emphasize the delicate texture of chicken meat.
  4. We spread on a half of each piece a slice of cheese and ham, turn the rolls, fasten them with toothpicks. Bone the product in flour, dip in egg composition and breading with a mixture of crackers.
