Breaded meat cutlets are a popular dish found in various cuisines around the world, including German, Austrian, Japanese, and American fare. Typically crafted from cuts of meat like chicken, pork, or beef, the meat is tenderized, seasoned, coated in flour, dipped in beaten eggs, and then covered with breadcrumbs before frying to a crispy golden finish. While variations exist, schnitzel and tonkatsu are notable versions with roots in Europe and Japan, respectively. Nutritionally, breaded cutlets are a good source of protein thanks to the meat component. However, they are often high in calories and fat due to frying and breading, which can also add refined carbohydrates. Healthier options include baking or air-frying to reduce fat content and pairing the dish with fresh vegetables instead of carb-heavy sides. This comfort food is indulgent but can be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
