Lightly beat the slices of meat with a delicate touch.
Put the flour on a plate and pass the slices on both sides. Keep aside. Put the butter in a large pan, let it melt, and fry the slices of meat on both sides for a couple of minutes. Adjust the cooking according to the thickness of the slices of meat. As soon as they are golden, remove them from the pan and keep them warm on a plate.
Put the grated Parmigiano Reggiano in a small saucepan, add the milk and melt over low heat.
Wash and dry the rocket and set it aside. Place a slice of bacon on each slice of cooked meat. Put the slices back in the pan and pour the Parmigiano Reggiano cream.
