Ingredients
- 4 pieces Veal cutlets
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Whole milk
- 1.5 cups Breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 large Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Parsley
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the veal cutlets by placing each between two sheets of plastic wrap and pounding with a meat mallet until about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 2
Season both sides of the cutlets with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs mixed with milk, and one with breadcrumbs.
Step 4
Dredge each cutlet in flour, shaking off excess. Dip it in the egg mixture, then coat it with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
Step 5
Heat 3 tablespoons of butter and the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 6
Cook the cutlets two at a time, about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Add more butter and oil if needed for the second batch. Drain on paper towels.
Step 7
Slice the lemon into thin slices, removing seeds. Wipe the skillet clean, then melt the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
Step 8
Fry the lemon slices in the butter until golden around the edges, about 1-2 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Step 9
Serve the veal cutlets warm, garnished with fried lemon slices and chopped parsley.
