Method

Preparing Veal Cutlets

  1. 1

    Prepare the Breading Station

    Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes. In the first dish, place the all-purpose flour mixed with salt and black pepper. In the second dish, beat the eggs. In the third dish, add the breadcrumbs.

  2. 2

    Bread the Veal

    Dip each veal cutlet first into the flour, ensuring it’s coated evenly. Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off. Finally, coat it well in breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

Cooking the Veal

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  2. 4

    Fry the Cutlets

    Carefully place the breaded veal cutlets in the hot oil and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Milanese Style Assembly

  1. 5

    Prepare the Arugula Salad

    In a bowl, combine arugula, lemon juice, and olive oil. Toss to combine.

  2. 6

    Plate the Milanese Style

    Place the cooked veal cutlet on a serving plate, top with the arugula salad, and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.

Parmigiana Style Assembly

  1. 7

    Add Marinara and Cheese

    Place the cooked veal cutlet in a baking dish. Spoon marinara sauce over the cutlet and then sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top.

  2. 8

    Broil the Dish

    Place the baking dish under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
