Baked Cordon Bleu Roulade with Alfredo

If you have ever been to The Roof Restaurant in downtown Salt Lake City and enjoyed their all you can eat gourmet buffet, you'll likely remember this dish. I found the recipe in their recently published cookbook and made it tonight for dinner. This was my first attempt at a Cordon Bleu and I loved it. I substituted their Alfredo with my homemade Alfredo and the combination was wonderful. This recipe yields 6-8 servings. Enjoy!

HELPFUL HINTS
1. Be careful not to overcook the onion and garlic. Add the milk just before they start browning.
2. Don't substitute black pepper for the white. White pepper is milder and also won't discolor the Alfredo.
