Ingredients

• 4 pieces Veal cutlets
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Place each veal cutlet between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound each one with a meat mallet or rolling pin until they are about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 2

Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes. In the first dish, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. In the second dish, whisk the eggs with the water until combined. In the third dish, mix the breadcrumbs with the grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 3

Dredge each veal cutlet in the flour mixture, making sure they are completely coated, then shake off the excess.

Step 4

Dip the floured cutlet into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.

Step 5

Press the cutlet into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even coating on all sides. Repeat until all cutlets are breaded.

Step 6

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the mixture is hot but not smoking.

Step 7

Add the breaded veal cutlets to the skillet in batches, if necessary, and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

Transfer cooked cutlets to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 9

Serve the veal cutlets immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over just before eating.
