Method

Preparation of Veal Cutlets

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cutlets

    Pound the veal cutlets to about 1/4 inch thickness using a meat mallet. This ensures even cooking and tenderness.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three shallow dishes, place the flour in the first, beat the eggs in the second, and place the breadcrumbs in the third.

  3. 3

    Bread the Cutlets

    Dredge each cutlet in flour, shaking off excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, then coat thoroughly with breadcrumbs.

Cooking the Cutlets

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

  2. 5

    Cook the Cutlets

    Add the breaded cutlets to the skillet in batches, cooking for about 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place on paper towels to drain.

Prepare the Toppings

  1. 6

    Assemble the Topping

    Halve the grape tomatoes and season with salt, black pepper, and balsamic vinegar. Toss gently.

  2. 7

    Slice the Mozzarella

    Slice the fresh mozzarella into thick rounds.

Final Assembly

  1. 8

    Top the Cutlets

    On each cooked veal cutlet, layer a handful of arugula, followed by the seasoned grape tomatoes, and top with slices of fresh mozzarella.

  2. 9

    Serve

    Serve immediately while hot, drizzled with a little more olive oil if desired.
