Introduction

This vegan cordon bleu offers a plant-based twist on a classic French favorite, featuring crispy breaded chick’n layered with vegan ham and swiss cheese. It’s a comforting and flavorful dish that’s perfect for a satisfying dinner.

Two golden brown, crispy fried squares sit side by side on a white square plate, each with a crunchy, textured outer layer sprinkled with small green herb bits. The filling inside is creamy white with small dark flecks visible through a slightly open side of one square. Behind the squares, a small clear glass bowl filled with a smooth, white dipping sauce topped with a few green herbs rests on the plate. The plate is on a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

4 Gardein Chick’n Scallopini
4 slices vegan ham (Tofurky)

2 slices vegan swiss cheese, cut in half (Daiya)
3 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 cup Just Egg

½ cup Panko breadcrumbs
Oil spray

Instructions

Step 1: Thaw the chick’n in the fridge overnight.

Step 2: Preheat the oven to 370°F (190°C).
Step 3: Layer a slice of vegan ham and two halves of vegan swiss cheese on one piece of chick’n, then top it with another piece of chick’n to form a sandwich.
Step 4: In a small bowl, mix together the vegan mayonnaise and Dijon mustard.

Step 5: Brush the mayo-mustard mixture onto both sides of each chick’n sandwich.
Step 6: Dip both sides of the chick’n sandwiches into the Just Egg.
Step 7: Roll the coated chick’n sandwiches in Panko breadcrumbs until evenly covered.

Step 8: Place the breaded sandwiches on a prepared baking sheet. Secure with toothpicks if needed, and lightly spray with cooking oil.
Step 9: Bake for 20 minutes, then flip and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 10: Serve hot with extra vegan mayo and Dijon mustard sauce on the side.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of garlic powder or smoked paprika to the breadcrumb mixture.
Use gluten-free Panko breadcrumbs to make this recipe gluten-free.
Swap vegan swiss cheese for vegan mozzarella for a different cheesy taste.

If you prefer, pan-fry the cordon bleu on medium heat for 4-5 minutes per side for a crispier crust.

Storage

Store leftover vegan cordon bleu in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes to maintain crispiness. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

How to Serve

Two thick, square patties with a crispy, golden-brown breaded outer layer are placed side by side on a white plate. The patties have a crunchy texture with small green herb pieces sprinkled on top. Inside, there is a creamy, white filling with bits of black and green ingredients visible near the edges. Behind the patties, there is a small glass bowl filled with a light cream-colored dipping sauce topped with chopped green herbs. The plate is set on a white marbled surface, adding a clean and fresh look to the image. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
