Ingredients
Instructions
- Bread the veal cutlets and fry them in a small amount of oil until golden.
- Remove the cutlets from the pan and set aside to cool.
- In a saucepan, sauté fresh mushrooms in butter with parsley until tender.
- Add sour cream and the can of cream of mushroom soup, stirring until heated through.
- Serve the sauce over the cooled veal cutlets, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Tips & Substitutions
For a crispy coating, double bread the veal by dipping it in egg and then bread crumbs again before frying. If fresh mushrooms are unavailable, canned mushrooms can be used in a pinch, but they may alter the texture slightly. Consider adding garlic or onion to the sauté for extra flavor, similar to the method used in Creamed Turkey With Biscuits.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the veal cutlets topped with the creamy mushroom sauce and a sprinkle of fresh parsley. Pair with a side of buttery noodles or mashed potatoes for a comforting meal. A light salad or steamed vegetables can balance the richness, making it a delightful dinner option for special occasions or weeknights.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the veal cutlets in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through. This will help maintain their crispiness compared to microwave reheating.
