Cordon Bleu Goes Swai

There once was a man who wanted swai for dinner and then his crazy wife turned it into a chicken dish.

I have no idea how this came to fruition, but it happened and it was GOOD.

Swai Cordon Bleu


4 Swai Fillets
3 Laughing Cow Swiss Wedges
6 slices of Canadian Bacon (chopped into 1/2" pieces)
1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese

Sprinkle garlic powder on swai. Place a layer of swai in the bottom of a baking dish (I cut large swai fillets in half so they would fit into a single layer).  Spread a layer of swiss cheese and a layer of canadian bacon (1/2, but make sure it's a full layer).  Salt/pepper/garlic powder.  Place another layer of swai on top.  Top with Parmesan cheese and remaining canadian bacon.  Cover with foil and bake for approximately 20 minutes at 425 degrees.  Take foil off and bake another 15 minutes or until cooked through.  Try not to burn the canadian bacon on top, but it should end up crispy.

This recipe is really dependent upon the size and thickness of the fillets.  Ours were really big and took a while to cook through and truth be told I probably used more than 6 slices of canadian bacon... I just can't remember.

I often hear that cheese and fish don't go well together, but when you Just Keep Tasting...sometimes it definitely goes together... like peas and carrots... peanut butter and jelly... yeah.
