Steps

Heat the oven to 400°F. Brush each cutlet with Dijon, add 2 slices ham and 2 slices cheese, and roll tightly. Secure with toothpicks.

Coat in flour, egg and panko mixed with butter.

Bake seam-side down on a sheet 30 minutes until golden and 165°F inside.

Rest 5 minutes and remove toothpicks.

TipChill the rolls 20 minutes before crumbing so they hold their shape and the cheese stays inside.
