Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1.5 pounds veal cutlets
  • 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon minced parsley
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 pinch ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup dry bread crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 4 slices lemon

Method
 

  1. Place veal cutlets between 2 sheets of heavy plastic on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound cutlets with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a 1/4-inch thickness. Dip cutlets in flour to coat; shake off excess.
  2. Beat eggs, Parmesan cheese, milk, parsley, salt, pepper, and nutmeg together in a shallow bowl until combined. Place bread crumbs on a plate.
  3. Dip each cutlet into the egg mixture, then press in bread crumbs to coat. Place coated cutlets on a plate and refrigerate for 1 hour to overnight.
  4. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook breaded cutlets in butter until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer cutlets to a serving platter and pour pan juices over them. Garnish with lemon slices.
