Elaboració
Pas a pas
- 1
Prepare three shallow dishes for breading. Add flour to the first dish, beaten eggs to the second, and breadcrumbs to the third.
Uns 2 min
Nota de cuina: Ensure your breading station is set up efficiently for a smooth process.

Transfer the cutlet to the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure a thorough and even coating on both sides.

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches about 170-175°C (340-350°F).
Uns 3 min
Nota de cuina: Use enough oil so the schnitzels can float and cook evenly without touching the bottom of the pan.

Carefully place one or two breaded veal cutlets into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.

Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Remove the cooked schnitzels from the pan and place them on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Uns 1 min
