Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Veal cutlets
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 cups Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups Marinara sauce
- 1 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 6 pieces Fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Place the veal cutlets between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them to an even 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet.
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour mixed with salt and pepper, one with whisked eggs and water, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with grated Parmesan cheese.
Dredge each veal cutlet in the flour mixture, shaking off excess. Dip into the egg mixture, then coat with the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture, pressing to adhere.
Heat olive oil and butter in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded veal cutlets in batches, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.
Remove excess oil from the skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon. Pour marinara sauce into the skillet and spread evenly.
Nestle the fried veal cutlets into the marinara sauce. Top each cutlet with a generous sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Preheat the oven broiler to high. Place the skillet under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve hot. Pair with pasta or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
