Ingredients

• 4 pieces Veal cutlets
• 1 cup Whole wheat bread crumbs
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 large Egg whites
• 0.25 cup Skim milk
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0 Olive oil cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray it with olive oil cooking spray.

Step 2

Start by setting up your breading station. Place the flour on a shallow plate. In a second shallow dish, whisk together the egg whites and skim milk. In a third dish, combine the whole wheat bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, lemon zest, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Take each veal cutlet and dredge it lightly in the flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 4

Dip the floured veal cutlet into the egg white mixture, ensuring it’s completely coated.

Step 5

Finally, coat the veal cutlet with the seasoned bread crumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs to the meat.

Step 6

Place the breaded veal cutlets on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil cooking spray to enhance browning.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes or until the cutlets are golden brown and cooked through. Turn the cutlets over halfway through the baking time to ensure even browning.

Step 8

Remove the cutlets from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete, low-fat meal.
