Best Milanese Veal Cutlets Recipes

VEAL MILANESE

Steps:

• Prepare your dishes for breading - beat your eggs in a shallow bowl, add flour and bread crumbs to two separate plates.
• Season your veal cutlets with salt and pepper.
• Bread all your cutlets - start with flour (shake off the excess), then the egg, and then the breadcrumbs, then set aside.
• Preheat your oven to a very low temperature of 200F to keep your cooked veal cutlets warm until you finish up all frying.
• Preheat your cast-iron skillet until hot, add the clarified butter or oil and let it heat up until hot (about 375 F).
• Fry your veal cutlets in batches for about 3-4 minutes per side (don't overcrowd the pan as the oil will lose its temperature and the cutlets can get soggy).
• Remove cooked cutlets onto a rack with baking sheet and place in the oven to keep them warm.
• Once all your veal cutlets are fried, place them on a serving plate with lemon wedges and serve.

MILANESE VEAL CUTLETS

Steps:

• Use a tenderiser or rolling pin to flatten the chops, leaving the bone attached, then trim away the fat.
• Beat the eggs, then mix in the basil, parmesan and some seasoning. Transfer the mixture to a plate or shallow bowl, then spread the breadcrumbs out on another plate. Dip each of the chops in the egg mixture, then immediately roll them in the breadcrumbs to thoroughly coat them. Repeat this process to give the chops a double layer of egg and breadcrumbs.
• Heat enough oil to cover the base of a large frying pan. Working in batches, fry the chops over a gentle heat for 3-4 mins each side, until the breadcrumbs turn a deep gold (you may need to add more oil to the pan as you go). Serve with a lemon wedge, some fried courgettes and a spring salad, if you like.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 175 degrees F.
• In a shallow dish, beat eggs and season with salt and pepper. Pour flour into another shallow dish. Mix together the bread crumbs, basil and thyme in a third shallow dish. Have ready one large plate.
• Season the veal with salt and pepper. Working with 1 piece of veal at a time, dip it first in the flour, shaking off excess. Next, place the floured veal into the beaten eggs, coating completely. Place the veal into the bread crumb mixture and gently press crumbs into the veal. Set aside on large plate and continue with remaining veal slices.
• In a large skillet with high sides, heat the oil to 375 degrees F. Have ready a baking sheet fitted with a rack. Carefully place 2 pieces of breaded veal in the hot oil and fry until golden brown on both sides, about 6 to 8 minutes total. Place cooked veal on rack, season with salt and place in oven to keep warm. Continue with remaining veal.
• Serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• With the point of a knife, remove any connective tissue from the chop edges and optional: flatten with a meat tenderizer.
• Beat eggs with a whisk or fork in a shallow bowl and add ground pepper if you like, but no salt. Place breadcrumbs in another bowl. Dip chops in the egg (keep the bone dry) and let any excess egg drip off. Dredge in breadcrumbs to coat entirely. Pat down the breadcrumbs well to ensure they stick to both sides.
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat until foamy. The pan should be large enough to hold the chops without overlap. Fry until golden brown. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side: baste them with butter, including the bone. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels. Seaon with salt to taste and serve.

• Add 2 pieces of chicken and saute until golden brown and just cooked through, about 1 1/2 mins per side.
