Bread the Cutlets
Dredge each veal cutlet in flour, shaking off the excess. Then dip it in the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

Fry the Cutlets
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded veal cutlets in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through.
