Wiener Schnitzel
  1. 1

    Set the veal cutlets between 2 sheets of heavy plastic on a sturdy, flat surface. Pound them firmly with the smooth side of a meat mallet until they are 1/4-inch thick. Dredge the cutlets in flour to coat, then shake off any excess.

  2. 2

    In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs, Parmesan cheese, milk, parsley, salt, pepper, and nutmeg together until combined. Spread the bread crumbs on a plate.

  3. 3

    Dip each cutlet into the egg mixture, then press into the bread crumbs to coat. Set the coated cutlets on a plate and refrigerate for 1 hour to overnight.

  4. 4

    Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the breaded cutlets in the butter until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Move the cutlets to a serving platter and pour the pan juices over them. Garnish with lemon slices.
