Directions
-
Place veal cutlets between sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet until thin and even.
-
Season both sides of the cutlets with salt and pepper, then sprinkle with lemon juice and grated Parmesan cheese.
-
Let the seasoned cutlets rest for 5 minutes to allow flavors to penetrate.
-
Set up a breading station with flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs in separate shallow dishes.
-
Dredge each cutlet in flour, dip in beaten egg, and coat thoroughly with breadcrumbs.
-
Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
-
Fry the breaded cutlets in batches for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
-
Place a slice of Emmenthal cheese on top of each cutlet immediately after flipping.
-
Reduce heat to low and cover the pan briefly to allow the cheese to melt completely.
-
Transfer schnitzels to plates and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
