Ingredients
- 2 pound veal cutlet, sliced very thin
- 1 teaspoon sage
- 1/4 pound proscitto or ham, sliced very thin
- 3 tablespoon butter

Instructions
Cut veal into pieces about 5 inches square. Sprinkle a little of the sage on each piece and place a piece of prosciutto or ham on top. Use a toothpick to keep it in place on the veal. Season with the salt and pepper. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in the pan and saute the veal over high heat until the veal is well browned. Place the veal on a platter.
