Bread the Schnitzels
Dredge each piece of meat first in the flour, shaking off the excess. Then dip it in the beaten eggs, and finally coat it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

Fry the Schnitzels
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil or vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded schnitzels in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
