4 veal steaks 
8 rashers  bacon 
1 small  onions 
.25 cups  dry white wine 
1 heads  broccoli 
375 g  ham, shaved 
250 g  swiss cheese, thin sliced 
1 cups  plain flour 
3 eggs 
1 cups  milk 
2 cups  breadcrumbs, fresh 
 
1Prep: Finely dice onions and bacon. Blanch and chop broccoli, Trim veal and pound with tenderising mallet between sheets of plastic wrap until very thin but with no holes.
2Sauté the bacon until crisp. Add the onions and sauté lightly before deglazing with the white wine. Simmer on medium heat until the moisture has evaporated.
3Add the bacon and onion mixture to the cooked, diced broccoli and toss well. Lay the veal out on a flat surface, and top each one with equal portions of ham and Swiss cheese. Then divide the broccoli mixture evenly among the veal steaks and top each one. Roll the veal, tucking in the ends, as tight as possible.
4Dredge the veal bundles in flour. Whisk together the eggs and milk to form egg wash. Dip the floured bundles in the egg wash and then roll in the bread crumbs.
5Arrange the rolled veal in a buttered baking dish and place a small knob of butter on the top of each bundle. Cover and freeze.
6Then finish in oven at 180°C for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and serve immediately.
