Method

  1. Season the veal cutlet with salt and pepper.
  2. Dredge the cutlet in flour, shaking off excess.
  3. Dip the cutlet in beaten eggs.
  4. Coat the cutlet in breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
  5. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. Cook the cutlet until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  7. Serve immediately with a wedge of lemon on the side.
  8. For whole cuts, check a minimum internal temperature of 63°C (145°F), then rest for at least 3 minutes before serving.
