Cordon bleu ..


Cordon bleu in different styles ....



- تغسل صدور الدجاج كويس قووى بالماء والخل ، وتتبل بالملح والفلفل وجوزة الطيب .
- تفرد ويوضع عليها شريحه تركي مدخن + خليط من الجبن الامينتال والشيدر وموتزاريلا ، نقفل شريحه صدر الدجاج ونلفها ونضغط عليها بالورق الفويل كويس عشان تمسك فى بعضها .
- نسويها بالورق الفويل على البخار بعد لما نخرمها بخله اسنان كذا خرم صغير .
- بعد كده نسيبها تبرد وتاخد وقتها وبعدين نشيلها بالفريزر نص ساعه بس عشان ماتفكش مننا واحنا بنحمرها.
- نغمسها فى البيض والبقسماط ونحمرها فى الزيت .
