Veal

Crab Topping

Delicate Cheese Sauce

Method

Prepare the Veal

  1. 1

    Season the veal

    Season veal cutlets on both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Sear the veal

    In a skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil and butter. Sear veal cutlets for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and just cooked through. Set aside and keep warm.

Prepare the Crab Topping

  1. 3

    Mix the crab topping

    In a bowl, gently mix lump crab meat with lemon juice, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

Prepare the Cheese Sauce

  1. 4

    Make a roux

    In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until slightly golden.

  2. 5

    Add milk and cheeses

    Gradually whisk in milk and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in Parmesan and Gruyère cheeses until melted and smooth. Season with salt and white pepper.

Assemble and Serve

  1. 6

    Top the veal

    Place seared veal cutlets on serving plates. Spoon a portion of the crab mixture over each cutlet.

  2. 7

    Add cheese sauce

    Drizzle the delicate cheese sauce over the crab-topped veal. Garnish with additional parsley if desired and serve immediately.
