Veal Cutlets Oven Baked Recipes

CLASSIC BREADED VEAL CUTLETS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Pat dry the cutlets and set them aside.
• On a plate, combine the flour and salt.
• In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs thoroughly with the water.
• Put the breadcrumbs or panko on another plate.
• Line the plates and bowl in order from left to right: flour, egg, breadcrumbs (right to left if you're left-handed). Set a platter or baking tray at the end of the line, after the breadcrumbs.
• Dredge the cutlet on both sides in the flour to coat it thoroughly; shake off any excess.
• Dip it in the egg so it is completely covered and lift it out so the excess egg can drip off.
• Lay the cutlet in the breadcrumbs, covering it on both sides, gently pressing the crumbs onto the surface of the cutlet.
• Set the cutlet on a baking sheet or platter and repeat with the remaining cutlets, placing in one layer without touching.
• Heat a shallow layer of oil in a wide, high-sided frying pan or similar vessel over medium-high heat. Add as many cutlets as fit in a single layer. If the cutlets get too dark, lower the heat as needed.
• Fry the cutlets until they're golden brown on the first side for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Turn them over and cook them until they're golden brown on the other side and cooked through. Cooking time should be 4 to 6 minutes total. Do not overcook.
• Repeat with any remaining cutlets, if necessary.
• Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate or platter.
• Serve with lemon wedges and enjoy.

WIENER SCHNITZEL (BREADED VEAL CUTLETS)

Steps:

• In a food processor, pulse the bread into fine crumbs. Transfer the breadcrumbs to a shallow bowl or lipped plate.
• Put the flour in a shallow bowl or plate. Break the eggs into another shallow bowl and whisk with the milk, and season with salt, and pepper to taste.
• To bread the meat: Dredge a cutlet in the flour, shaking off the excess; then dip it into the eggs, and finally coat the meat evenly with the breadcrumbs. Set on a piece of waxed paper or baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining cutlet.
• Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a medium non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. While the butter is still foaming add the breaded cutlets and cook, swirling the skillet in a tight circle (this keeps the cutlets moving around the skillet), until golden brown and cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes for the first side. Turn the meat and cook 1 minute on the second side to crisp the breading. Transfer to a plate and cover very loosely with foil while you cook the other cutlet. Serve with the lemon wedges.

BAKED VEAL MILANESE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Whisk egg, lemon juice, and milk in a small bowl. Place flour in a separate shallow bowl; mix Italian crumbs, pecorino Romano cheese, and adobo seasoning in a third bowl.
• Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Dredge each veal piece in flour, dip in egg mixture, and press into bread crumb mixture to coat both sides. Pan-fry the breaded veal cutlets in the hot oil until crumbs are lightly browned and coating is set, about 1 minute per side. Transfer veal to a baking dish.
• Bake cutlets in the preheated oven until juices run clear, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer veal onto 4 serving plates and top each cutlet with 1/4 of the arugula; sprinkle raisins over the arugula. Drizzle a teaspoon of balsamic vinegar and 1 teaspoon olive oil over each serving.
