Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds veal cutlets 6-8 pieces
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs + 1 tb water
- 1 ½ cups panko breadcrumbs
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 strips of bacon diced
- 24 ounces marinara homemade or store-bought
- 2 cups shredded Parmesan cheese
- salt and pepper
- ¼ cup olive oil
- Optional: 1 pound dried spaghetti fresh parsley
Instructions
- Set a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the diced bacon to the pan. Stir and cook the bacon for 3 to 4 minutes until brown and crispy. Pour in the marinara. Reduce the heat to medium-low and allow the marinara to simmer for 10 minutes then turn off the heat.
- Meanwhile, lay out the cutlets. If they are more than 1/8 inch thick, use a meat mallet to pound them very thin so that they cook quickly and are very tender.
- Prep a dredging station for the veal cutlets. Set out three shallow bowls. In one bowl combine the flour with 1 ½ teaspoons of salt and ½ teaspoon of cracked black pepper. Mix well. In the second bowl combine the eggs and 1 tablespoon of water. Whisk well. In the third bowl combine the Panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese. Mix well.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Set out a large rimmed baking sheet for the finished veal cutlets.
- Set out another large sauté pan (or skillet) and place it over medium heat. Add the olive oil to the skillet.
- Dredge the veal cutlets one at a time, first dipping in the flour mixture. Then dip in the egg mixture. And finally dipping in Panko breadcrumbs.
- Place the dredged veal cutlets in the hot oil and fry for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Once the veal cutlets are golden brown, place them in a single layer on the baking sheet. Then continue to dredge and fry until all the veal cutlets are coated and cooked to golden brown.
- If making pasta, heat a large pot of salted water over high heat. Once boiling, cook the pasta according to the package directions and strain in a colander.
- While the pasta is cooking, spoon the marinara sauce over each veal cutlet. Sprinkle the tops generously with shredded mozzarella cheese. Place in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes to warm the sauce and melt the cheese over the veal cutlets.
- Serve with additional sauce over cooked pasta. Sprinkle the top with chopped parsley or extra parmesan cheese.
Notes
- Note: The nutritional information provided here is for the fried veal cutlets, sauce, and cheese only. The provided estimates do not include pasta or other accompanying dishes.
- The fried cutlets are best enjoyed freshly prepared. However, leftover veal will keep well for up to 3 days in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat briefly in the oven or air fryer to get the breading slightly crisp and the cheese melted again.
- It is best to freeze veal after frying and before adding sauce and cheese. Let the fried cutlets cool completely before wrapping each individually in a layer of plastic wrap and foil. Place them all together in a ziplock plastic bag, squeeze out any excess air, and freeze for up to 2 months.
