Instructions
1 | Cut a slit in the side of each veal chop, forming a pocket. Fold and stuff prosciutto and cheese into pockets; press lightly to close pockets. |
2 | Combine flour, salt and pepper in a plastic bag; set aside. Beat egg in a pie plate or shallow bowl. Place bread crumbs in another pie plate or bowl. One at a time, shake chops in flour mixture, dip in egg mixture and dredge both sides in bread crumbs, patting to coat. |
3 | Heat butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot. Add chops; cook 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown. Transfer to a baking sheet. Bake in preheated 375F degree oven for 10 minutes or until desired doneness. |
4 | Meanwhile, add tomatoes to same skillet; cook 3 minutes or until softened, stirring occasionally. Stir in basil; season with salt and pepper. |
5 | Transfer tomato mixture to serving plates. Place chops over tomato mixture; top with anchovy fillets, if desired. |


Notes
For fresh bread crumbs, tear 2 slices white, wheat or rye bread into chunks; process in food processor.
