Ingredients
- 4 pieces veal cutlets
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 2 cups bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 piece lemon
Directions
Step 1
Place the veal cutlets between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound them with a meat mallet to about 1/4-inch thickness.
Step 2
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes. In the first dish, place the all-purpose flour. In the second dish, beat the eggs with the milk until well combined. In the third dish, spread the bread crumbs.
Step 3
Season the veal cutlets with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 4
Dredge each cutlet in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip into the egg mixture, ensuring a complete coat. Finally, press into the bread crumbs, ensuring both sides are well-coated and gently shake off any excess.
Step 5
In a large skillet, heat the butter and vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
Step 6
Add the breaded veal cutlets to the skillet, taking care not to overcrowd. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 7
Remove the veal schnitzels from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Slice the lemon into wedges and serve alongside the schnitzels. Enjoy the veal schnitzel hot.
