Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Veal

    Pound the veal cutlets with a meat mallet until they are about 1/4 inch thick. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate shallow dishes, place the flour in the first, whisk the eggs in the second, and combine the breadcrumbs with Parmesan cheese in the third.

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    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.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the cutlets from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.
