Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour

Score the edges of the cutlets and pound them lightly, season with salt and pepper, and fry in hot margarine. Place on a heatproof plate and keep warm. Cut the mushrooms into eighths and dice the ham. Sauté the mushrooms in butter. When the juices have evaporated, dust with flour. Bring to a boil with milk and cook until a thick sauce forms. Season with salt, nutmeg, and ground spice. Mix in the ham and Parmesan cheese. Whisk together the egg yolk and cream and stir into the simmering sauce along with the 8 herbs. Let cool slightly. Spread the ragout over the fried cutlets and quickly bake in a preheated oven or grill until golden brown. It’s a delicious sauce; you can make more and freeze it. It’s also delicious poured over undercooked pasta.
