Cutlet Milanese Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 veal cutlets (or chicken cutlets for a cheaper alternative)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 eggs, beaten
• 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• Olive oil, for frying

Instructions

1. Start by prepping your meat. Use a meat mallet to pound the cutlets until they are thin and even in size.
2. Place the flour in a shallow dish, the beaten eggs in another shallow dish, and the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a third shallow dish. Mix the breadcrumb mixture well.
3. Coat each cutlet in the flour, then dip it in the beaten eggs, and finally coat it well in the breadcrumb mixture.
4. Heat enough olive oil in a large frying pan to cover the bottom of the pan. Once hot, add the breaded cutlets and fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
5. Remove the cutlets from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain off any excess oil.
6. Serve the cutlets hot, sprinkled with a bit of extra Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley for garnish if desired.
