Ingredients

• 4 pieces Veal cutlets
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Place each veal cutlet between two sheets of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet to gently pound the veal until about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, mix together almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

Step 3

In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs with heavy cream until combined.

Step 4

Dip each veal cutlet first into the egg mixture, ensuring it is completely coated, then dredge in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.

Step 5

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil.

Step 6

Once the butter has melted and begins to bubble, add the veal cutlets to the skillet (do this in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding).

Step 7

Cook each cutlet for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

Remove the cooked schnitzels from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 9

Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the schnitzel.
