Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Veal cutlets
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cups Marinara sauce
- 8 ounces Mozzarella cheese
- 4 pieces Fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lay the veal cutlets on a clean surface and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs and water, and one with a mixture of breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
Dredge each veal cutlet in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip into the egg mixture, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Ensure each cutlet is evenly coated.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Fry the breaded veal cutlets for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Work in batches if necessary, and place the cooked cutlets on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Spread 1/2 cup of marinara sauce along the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Arrange the fried veal cutlets on top of the sauce.
Spoon the remaining marinara sauce evenly over the cutlets. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and garnish each cutlet with a fresh basil leaf. Serve hot alongside pasta, a salad, or garlic bread.
