  1. 1

    Prepare the Veal

    Season the veal cutlet with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Breading Process

    In a bowl, beat the egg. Dip the seasoned veal in the egg, then coat it with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere.

    Prepare Toppings

    While the veal is cooking, slice the tomatoes and red onion thinly. In a bowl, toss the arugula with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    Once the veal is cooked, place it on a serving plate. Top with the arugula mixture, sliced tomatoes, and red onions. Finish with shaving of Parmigiano cheese on top.
