Serves: 2, Difficulty: Expert
Preparation Time: 30 minutes, Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 veal cutlets
- 50 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 100 grams breadcrumbs
- 3 grams salt
- 2 grams black pepper
- 30 grams butter
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges
- 5 grams parsley, finely chopped
- 5 grams chives, finely chopped
- 2 grams dijon mustard
Method
- Gently pound the veal cutlets to a thin, even thickness, ensuring a tender and even fry.
- Season the flour with salt and black pepper. Coat each cutlet in the flour, shaking off the excess.
- Beat the eggs in a bowl and dip each floured cutlet into the eggs, ensuring even coverage.
- Press the cutlets into the breadcrumbs to firmly adhere the crust. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to set.
- Heat 20 grams of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Fry each cutlet until golden and crisp, approximately 3 minutes per side. Add additional butter as needed.
- In a small bowl, mix the remaining butter with parsley, chives, and dijon mustard. Melt over low heat until aromatic.
- Serve the schnitzels with herbed butter and lemon wedges. Enjoy the harmonious flavors of Austrian tradition.
Tips
- For the crispiest crust, ensure the breadcrumbs firmly adhere to the cutlets by pressing them into the meat.
- Use medium heat to fry the schnitzels to ensure even cooking and prevent the breading from burning.
- Consider pairing this dish with a light, Austrian-inspired side, such as a simple potato salad.
