Ingredients

• 1 ½ pounds veal cutlets
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 teaspoon minced parsley
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon pepper
• 1 pinch ground nutmeg
• 1 cup dry bread crumbs
• 6 tablespoons butter

Steps

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.
