Step 1
~2 min

Flatten veal cutlets to approximately 1/4 inch thickness, making small incisions on the edges to prevent curling during cooking.

Step 2
~2 min

Season the flattened cutlets with salt to taste.

Step 3
~2 min

Dredge the cutlets thoroughly in flour, ensuring they are fully coated.

Step 4
~2 min

In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to create an egg wash.

Step 5
~2 min

Dip each floured cutlet into the egg wash, ensuring complete coverage.

Step 6
~2 min

Coat the egg-washed cutlets completely with fine bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

Step 7
~2 min

Shake off any excess bread crumbs to prevent clumping during frying.

Step 8
~2 min

Allow the breaded cutlets to rest at room temperature until ready to cook.

Step 9
~2 min

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet to 350°F (175°C), ensuring enough oil to almost float the schnitzels.

Step 10
~2 min

Carefully place the breaded cutlets into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 11
~2 min

Cook each side of the cutlets until golden brown, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.

Step 12
~2 min

Remove the cutlets from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 13
~2 min

In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 14
~2 min

Briefly finish browning the schnitzels in the hot butter, about 30 seconds per side, to enhance flavor and color.

Serve immediately, garnishing each schnitzel with a lemon wedge and a sprig of parsley.
