Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Veal cutlets
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
Instructions
Place veal cutlets between two sheets of plastic wrap. Pound them gently with a meat mallet or rolling pin until they are about 1/4 inch thick.
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
In another shallow dish, whisk together eggs and heavy cream until smooth.
Dip each veal cutlet into the egg mixture, ensuring it is well-coated, then dredge in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter has melted and the mixture is hot, add the veal cutlets.
Cook the cutlets for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the schnitzels from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve hot with a wedge of lemon or your favorite low-carb side dish.
