Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces veal cutlets
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Place each veal cutlet between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound with a meat mallet until about 1/4-inch thick. Be careful not to tear the meat.
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour mixed with salt and pepper, the second with eggs whisked together with milk, and the third with breadcrumbs.
Dredge each cutlet in the flour, shaking off the excess, then dip it into the egg mixture, and finally coat it evenly in breadcrumbs. Press the breadcrumbs lightly to adhere. Place the breaded cutlets on a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes to set the coating.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter and vegetable oil. Allow the butter to melt and foam, then lower the heat slightly.
Cook each breaded cutlet until golden brown and crisp on one side, about 2-3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Once cooked, transfer the schnitzel to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve each Wienerschnitzel with a lemon wedge for squeezing over the top and a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley for garnish.
