Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Veal
Pound the veal cutlets to about 1/4 inch thickness using a meat mallet. This will help them cook evenly.
Breading
- 2
Set Up Breading Station
In one shallow dish, place the all-purpose flour mixed with salt and black pepper. In a second dish, beat the eggs. In a third dish, combine the Italian breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.

Bread the Veal
Dredge each veal cutlet in the flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture. Press down gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere.
Cooking
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Ensure the oil is hot enough by testing it with a breadcrumb; it should sizzle when dropped in.
- 5
Fry the Veal
Carefully place the breaded veal cutlets into the hot oil, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
Assembly

Add Sauce and Cheese
In an oven-safe dish, spread half of the marinara sauce on the bottom. Place the fried veal cutlets on top and cover with the remaining marinara sauce. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.

Bake
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Garnish and Serve
Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh basil leaves, and serve hot with your choice of pasta or salad.
