Instructions
- Begin by seasoning the veal cutlets with salt and pepper generously on both sides.
- Place two sage leaves on each cutlet, followed by a slice of prosciutto. Secure them in place with a toothpick.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to foam.
- Carefully add the veal cutlets to the skillet, prosciutto-side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the prosciutto to become crispy.
- Gently flip the cutlets and cook for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring the veal is cooked through but still tender.
- Once cooked, remove the cutlets from the skillet and set aside on a warm plate.
- Pour the white wine into the skillet, scraping the bottom to release any flavorful browned bits. Bring to a simmer.
- Allow the wine to reduce for 2-3 minutes, concentrating the flavors.
- Return the cutlets to the skillet, placing them prosciutto-side up, and cook for an additional minute, ensuring they are heated through and coated in the aromatic sauce.
- Serve the Saltimbocca alla Fiorentina hot, drizzling the rich sauce over the top. Garnish with additional sage leaves if desired.
