Ingredients
•
1 1/2 pounds veal cutlets

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs
•
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
•
2 tablespoons milk
•
1 teaspoon minced parsley

•
1 pinch ground nutmeg
•
1 cup dry bread crumbs

4 slices lemon
Directions
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.
2
Beat eggs, Parmesan cheese, milk, parsley, salt, pepper, and nutmeg together in a shallow bowl until combined. Place bread crumbs on a plate.
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.
4
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.
