Ingredients

• 4 pieces Veal cutlets
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cups Marinara sauce
• 8 ounces Mozzarella cheese
• 4 pieces Fresh basil leaves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Lay the veal cutlets on a clean surface and season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs and water, and one with a mixture of breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 4

Dredge each veal cutlet in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip into the egg mixture, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Ensure each cutlet is evenly coated.

Step 5

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Fry the breaded veal cutlets for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Work in batches if necessary, and place the cooked cutlets on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 6

Spread 1/2 cup of marinara sauce along the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Arrange the fried veal cutlets on top of the sauce.

Step 7

Spoon the remaining marinara sauce evenly over the cutlets. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and garnish each cutlet with a fresh basil leaf. Serve hot alongside pasta, a salad, or garlic bread.
