| 75 g [[Butter|butter]]
| 1 [[Onion|onion]], finely [[Diced|diced]]
| [[Garlic]] to taste, [[Diced|diced]]
| 120 g [[Ham|ham]], [[Diced|diced]]
| 125 g [[Mushrooms|mushrooms]], finely chopped

| 1 tablespoon [[Parsley|parsley]], finely chopped
| Pinch each of [[Rosemary|rosemary]] and [[Sage|sage]]
| ½ teaspoon [[Salt|salt]]
| [[Freshly ground black pepper]]
| 1 [[Egg yolk|egg yolk]]
| 35 g [[Appenzeller cheese]]
| 2 whole [[Eggs|eggs]], lightly beaten
| 60 g (approx) stale [[Breadcrumbs|breadcrumbs]]
}}
===Method===

{{RecipeMethod
| Use a [[meat mallet]], [[Rolling pin|rolling pin]] or small [[frying pan]] to bash the [[Pork|pork]] slices between sheets of [[Greaseproof paper|greaseproof paper]] until they are very thin. Using the (clean!!) base of a small, heavy, iron frying pan is also a good way of doing this - see photo on the right
| Melt 25 g of the [[Butter|butter]] in a [[Frying pan|frying pan]] and sauté the [[Onions|onions]] and [[Garlic|garlic]] until soft.
| Add the [[Ham|ham]] and [[Mushrooms|mushrooms]] and cook for 3 minutes, stirring continuously.
| Add 1 tablespoon of the [[Flour|flour]] and cook for a further minute.
| Slowly add the [[Wine|wine]], stirring using a figure of eight motion with a wooden spoon or spatula, so that it is absorbed by the [[Flour|flour]].
| Add the [[Herbs|herbs]] and seasonings, and cook, still stirring, until the mixture is thick.
| Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
| Add the [[Egg yolk|egg yolk]] and the [[Cheese|cheese]] and mix thoroughly.
| Spread 8 of the [[Pork|pork]] slices with the mixture, top with the remaining 8 slices to form a [[Sandwich|sandwich]] and pinch the edges to seal.
| Heat the remaining [[Butter|butter]] in another [[Frying pan|frying pan]].
| Dredge each [[Pork|pork]] '[[Sandwich|sandwich]]' in the remaining [[Flour|flour]], [[Dip|dip]] into the beaten [[Egg|egg]] and then the [[Breadcrumbs|breadcrumbs]].
| Cook the [[Pork|pork]] over a fairly high heat for 3 or 4 minutes on each side and serve immediately.

===Variations===
Try to use [[Appenzeller cheese]] if you can. It is available from [[Backhaus]] by mail order, but if you cannot get it, use [[Gruyère cheese]] instead.
===Serving suggestion===
I had a little of the filling left over and as I had planned to have this with pasta, I am going to mix the leftover filling with some olive oil and mix into the pasta.
===Chef's notes===
You could probably fill 2 pork fillets with the quantity of filling shown here and these freeze really well, (separate with pieces of [[grease-proof paper]]). Make a big batch in one go and stock the freezer up.
