- Wrap your veal cutlets in a plastic wrap and gently beat them with a meat tenderizer until they become tender and thin. If you do not own a commercial meat tenderizer, you can also use the bottom of a pot or pan to beat your meat. Also, season your veal cutlets with pepper and salt after being tenderized.
- Pour 1/4 cup of olive oil into a frying pan and set the heat to medium-high. I would recommend using a non-stick pan because it easily removes the veal cutlets when cooked.
- Get three large plates; the plates should also be shallow and flat to contain the largest veal cutlet you have. On the first plate, you want to mix the flour with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Beat two large eggs in a small bowl, pour in 2 tablespoons whole milk, and add some salt and black pepper to taste. Beat this mixture and transfer it to the second flat plate. This mixture would serve as a bind for your breadcrumbs.
- Next, chop some parsley (approximately one tablespoon of chopped parsley), add this to 3/4 cups of breadcrumbs, mix properly, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. At this point, throw in your pre-measured garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning. Also, set aside some fresh parsley to be used as a garnish.
- Now place the three large plates in the order it would be easy to access and convenient. Start with the flour plate, then the egg wash, and finally the breadcrumbs.
- Take out one veal cutlet, place it on the plate containing flour, make sure it is completely covered in flour, take it out and shake off any excess flour on the Veal, next you would dip the flour-covered Veal in the egg mixture, also shake off excess egg wash on the Veal, and finally place it completely flat on the plate with the breadcrumbs, make sure you press your veal cutlet to the plate to allow the breadcrumbs adhere.
- Now, cook your veal cutlets in the preheated oil for about 5 minutes on each side. To ensure your veal cutlets do not stick to each other, cook them one at a time. This may take longer to finish, but it yields the best results.
- Remove your veal cutlets from the pan and set them aside on a paper towel. Now you should go ahead and garnish them with the remaining chopped parsley.
