Preparation

How to prepare Grandma's Milanese Cutlet

To make grandma's Milanese cutlet, place the veal chop on a cutting board 1, cover with a sheet of parchment paper, and gently pound it with a meat tenderizer 2 until you reach the desired thickness 3.

In a bowl, season the eggs with salt 4 and whisk them with a whisk 5. Pour the beaten eggs into a tray large enough to hold the meat 6. Spread the breadcrumbs in a second tray.

Dip the meat first in the eggs 7 and then in the breadcrumbs 8, coating both sides well. Melt the clarified butter in a large pan 9.

Place the chop 10 and fry it until it is beautifully golden on both sides, turning it with kitchen tongs 11; the cooking time depends on the thickness of the meat. Salt to taste and serve your grandma's Milanese cutlet immediately with a side of French fries 12!
