Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 4-5 oz each) Veal cutlets
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1.5 cups (preferably panko for extra crunch) Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 pieces (for serving) Lemon wedges
Instructions
Prepare the breading station: Place the flour in a shallow dish. In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk. In a third dish, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the veal cutlets dry with paper towels. If they are thick, use a meat mallet to gently pound them to about 1/4-inch thickness for even cooking.
Dip each veal cutlet into the flour, coating both sides evenly and shaking off any excess. Then dip the cutlet into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, press the cutlet into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it is well-coated. Repeat with the remaining cutlets.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and butter, allowing the butter to melt and foam slightly.
Working in batches, add the breaded veal cutlets to the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each cutlet for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach at least 145°F (63°C).
Transfer the cooked cutlets to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Repeat with the remaining cutlets, adding more olive oil and butter as needed between batches.
Serve the veal cutlets warm with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over just before eating. Pair with a side of mashed potatoes, a simple salad, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
