About the dish

Costoletta alla valdostana is a traditional meat dish originating from the Aosta Valley. The dish is usually made with a combination of veal chops, prosciutto cotto, Fontina cheese, eggs, breadcrumbs, butter, salt, and pepper. The veal chops are tenderized with a mallet and stuffed with prosciutto cotto and slices of Fontina cheese. Once assembled, the cutlets are dipped in beaten eggs, rolled in breadcrumbs, and fried in butter on both sides until golden. The dish is served immediately, while still warm. It’s also possible to prepare the dish in the oven instead of the frying pan.
