Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cutlets

    Pound the veal cutlets to about 1/4 inch thickness using a meat mallet. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    Place the flour in one shallow dish, beat the eggs in a second shallow dish, and place the breadcrumbs in a third shallow dish.

  3. 3

    Bread the Cutlets

    Dredge each cutlet in flour, shaking off the excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, and then coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

  4. 4

    Pan-Fry the Cutlets

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded cutlets in batches, frying for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Transfer the cooked veal cutlets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.
