Prepare the Veal Rolls:

Prepare the Pistachio Filling:
- In a bowl, combine the spreadable cream cheese and crushed pistachios. Season with a pinch of black pepper and mix well to form a smooth, flavorful filling.

Stuff the Veal:

Prepare the Coating:
- In a separate bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the remaining crushed pistachios and the garlic clove, finely chopped. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.

Coat the Rolls:
- Gently roll each veal bundle in the breadcrumb-pistachio mixture, ensuring the entire surface is well-coated. This step adds a crispy texture and enhances the flavor.
-
Arrange and Cook:
- Place the breaded veal rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle a small amount of extra virgin olive oil over the top to help them brown during cooking.
