Authentic Wiener Schnitzel Recipe

Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds veal cutlets
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 teaspoon minced parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon pepper
• 1 pinch ground nutmeg
• 1 cup dry bread crumbs
• 6 tablespoons butter
• 4 slices lemon

Instructions

1. Place veal cutlets between two sheets of plastic wrap on a flat surface. Using the flat side of a meat mallet, pound the cutlets to 1/4-inch thickness. Lightly coat each cutlet in flour, shaking off any extra.
2. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, Parmesan cheese, milk, parsley, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Spread the bread crumbs evenly on a plate.
3. Dip each floured cutlet into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, press the cutlet into the bread crumbs, coating thoroughly. Arrange the breaded cutlets on a plate and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
4. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the breaded cutlets until golden brown, approximately 3 minutes per side. Transfer the cooked cutlets to a serving dish and drizzle with pan juices. Serve with lemon wedges.
