Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Veal cutlets
- 1 cup Whole wheat bread crumbs
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Egg whites
- 0.25 cup Skim milk
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- Olive oil cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray it with olive oil cooking spray.
Start by setting up your breading station. Place the flour on a shallow plate. In a second shallow dish, whisk together the egg whites and skim milk. In a third dish, combine the whole wheat bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, lemon zest, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Take each veal cutlet and dredge it lightly in the flour, shaking off any excess.
Dip the floured veal cutlet into the egg white mixture, ensuring it’s completely coated.
Finally, coat the veal cutlet with the seasoned bread crumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs to the meat.
Place the breaded veal cutlets on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil cooking spray to enhance browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes or until the cutlets are golden brown and cooked through. Turn the cutlets over halfway through the baking time to ensure even browning.
Remove the cutlets from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete, low-fat meal.
