Ingredients

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

Recipe Instructions

Step 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.

Step 2

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.

Step 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.

Step 4

Beat eggs, Parmesan cheese, milk, parsley, salt, pepper, and nutmeg together in a shallow bowl until combined. Place bread crumbs on a plate.
