Prepare the veal cutlets by seasoning them with sea salt, pepper, and oregano.

Dice up one slice of cooked bacon and sprinkle it onto the veal cutlet.

Place Swiss cheese pieces inside the veal, ensuring they are well contained and not hanging out.

Stack another piece of veal on top to create a sandwich.

Bread the veal by first coating it in flour, then dipping it in egg, and finally coating it with panko breadcrumbs mixed with fresh parsley.

Wash and dry hands before handling the breadcrumbs to avoid stickiness.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over moderate heat, followed by adding butter.

Once the oil is hot, place the breaded veal in the skillet to sauté.

Cook the veal until golden brown on one side, then flip it carefully to cook the other side.

Once cooked, remove the veal and deglaze the pan with cherry wine, then return the veal to the pan to soak in the cherry flavor.

Serve the veal on a bed of tomato sauce.
