Stuffed Cutlets

Preheat oven to 325°F.
 
Arrange 8 scallopine on a cutting board. Season with salt and pepper then top each with a small, folded slice of ham—keep the edges clear to seal the cutlets. Add a small mound of artichoke, a sprinkle of cheese, some sage leaves and top with another scallopine. Seal edges with a brush of milk and season with salt and pepper.

 
Arrange breading station: Fill a shallow dish with flour seasoned with salt and pepper, another with the eggs beaten with a splash of milk and the last with the breadcrumbs seasoned with salt, pepper, lemon zest and nutmeg.
 
Heat a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat with a thin layer of oil. Melt in half the butter and let it foam. Cook 4 stuffed cutlets to golden brown on each side, about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer to a on wire rack set on a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter to oil, let it foam and cook remaining cutlets.
 
Cut lemons into wedges or cheeks. Serve cutlets with lemon and a Tre Colore salad (gem romaine, radicchio and arugula) dressed with Dijon vinaigrette alongside.
