Ingredients
- 4 Schnitzel veal, turkey, chicken or pork
- ⅔ cups all-purpose flour
- salt & pepper
- 2 medium eggs
- 2 tablespoon whipping cream (optional) or heavy cream
- 1 cups cup of breadcrumbs
- 8 tablespoons neutral oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C /400°F.
- Tenderize the meat: Place a vealcutlet between two sheets of plastic wrap (or use a cut-up freezer bag). Usinga meat mallet (smooth side) or a heavy pan, pound the meat until it is 4–5 mm(⅛ inch) thin. Repeat with the remaining veal cutlets.4 Schnitzel
- Prepare the breading station: Place the flour on a large plate and season it with salt and pepper. In a wide, shallow bowl, whisk the eggs with the whipped cream until well combined. Spread the breadcrumbs onto a third plate. (When arranged in order—flour, egg wash, and breadcrumbs—this setup is called "Schnitzelstraße" ("Schnitzel Street").)⅔ cups all-purpose flour, salt & pepper, 2 medium eggs, 1 cups cup of breadcrumbs, 2 tablespoon whipping cream
- Bread the schnitzel: First lightlycoat a veal escalope in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the eggmixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Finally, coat the schnitzel with breadcrumbs,pressing gently to help them adhere.
- Place the schnitzel on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Using a pastry brush, brush each side of the schnitzel with about 1 tablespoon of oil. Bake for about 25 minutes. Halfway through, turn the schnitzel. The perfect doneness of the schnitzel is up to personal taste, so I would recommend checking it after 20 minutes.8 tablespoons neutral oil
- Serve warm with fresh lemon wedges.
