Ingredients
Instructions
- Beat the eggs in a bowl and set aside.
- Mix the parmesan cheese, parsley flakes, bread crumbs, and salt in a medium-sized bowl.
- Lightly sprinkle flour on the veal cutlets.
- Dip the cutlets in the beaten eggs, then coat with the dry mixture.
- Fry the coated veal cutlets until golden brown and cooked through.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding some garlic powder or Italian herbs to the breadcrumb mixture. If you don't have veal, chicken cutlets can be a great substitute. Also, for a lighter option, bake the cutlets in the oven instead of frying them. Remember to keep an eye on the cooking time to avoid overcooking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the cheese veal cutlets with a side of garlic mashed potatoes or a fresh salad for a balanced meal. They pair wonderfully with a tangy marinara sauce or a light lemon sauce. For an Italian twist, consider serving alongside a slice of No Noodles Lasagne for a delightful dinner combination.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover cheese veal cutlets in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through, ensuring they stay crispy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of cheese instead of parmesan?
Yes, you can substitute parmesan with pecorino Romano or even mozzarella for a milder flavor. Each cheese will bring its unique taste to the dish, so choose based on your preference.
How do I know when the veal cutlets are fully cooked?
The cutlets should reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for safe consumption. You can also check for a golden brown color and ensure the juices run clear when pierced with a fork.
Can I prepare the cutlets in advance?
Absolutely! You can bread the veal cutlets a few hours ahead of time and keep them in the refrigerator until you're ready to fry them. Just make sure to let them come to room temperature before cooking for even results.
