Ingredients
- 4 pieces veal cutlets
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1.5 cups breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil
- 1 whole lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Place each veal cutlet between sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound with a meat mallet until about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Step 3
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs with the milk until well combined.
Step 4
In a third dish, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley.
Step 5
Dredge each veal cutlet in the flour mixture, shaking off excess. Dip into the egg mixture, and then coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture.

In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
Step 7
Add the breaded veal cutlets and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Transfer the cooked veal onto a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
Step 9
