Ingredients
Scale
Vegan Cordon Bleu
- 4 Gardein Chick’n Scallopini pieces
- 4 slices vegan ham (Tofurky)
- 2 slices vegan Swiss cheese (Daiya), cut in half
- 3 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 cup Just Egg (plant-based egg substitute)
- ½ cup Panko breadcrumbs
- Oil spray (for baking sheet and spraying before baking)
Instructions
- Thaw): Thaw the Gardein Chick’n scallopini in the refrigerator overnight to ensure even cooking.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 370°F (188°C) to prepare for baking the cordon bleu.
- Assemble: Place one piece of chick’n on a clean surface, layer with one slice of vegan ham, and half a slice of vegan Swiss cheese. Top with another piece of chick’n to form a sandwich.
- Mix Coating Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the vegan mayonnaise and Dijon mustard thoroughly to make a flavorful brush-on sauce.
- Brush Sauce: Brush the mayo-mustard mixture evenly on both sides of the assembled chick’n sandwich to help the coating stick and add flavor.
- Dip in Just Egg: Dip each side of the coated chick’n sandwich into the Just Egg, ensuring it is fully covered to help the breadcrumbs adhere.
- Coat with Breadcrumbs: Roll each piece in Panko breadcrumbs until fully coated, providing a crispy texture when baked.
- Prepare for Baking: Place the coated sandwiches on a baking sheet lined with parchment or silicone mat. Secure with toothpicks if necessary to hold the sandwich together. Lightly spray each with cooking oil to promote browning.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then, flip each piece and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the exterior is golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Remove toothpicks if used, serve hot with extra vegan mayo and Dijon mustard sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes
- Thawing the plant-based chick’n overnight ensures even and thorough cooking.
- Use toothpicks to secure the layered sandwiches during baking if needed.
- Lightly spraying the sandwiches with oil before baking helps achieve a golden and crispy crust.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
- This recipe can be paired with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
