Veal Parmigiana

• 4 - 115 g (4 oz.) breaded cutlets
• 375 ml (1 ½ cup) of your favorite tomato sauce
• 125 ml (1/2 cup) parmesan cheese
• 4 slices - mozzarella cheese
• 30 ml (2 tbsp.) butter or as needed
• 30 ml (2 tbsp.) olive oil or as needed
• Parsley (optional)

Preparing breaded cutlets from scratch

1. Put bread crumbs in a pie plate and set aside. In a shallow bowl, whisk egg and milk and set aside.
2. On a plate, spread the flour. Coat delicated veal cutlets with flour and shake off the excess.
3. Dip cutlets in egg mixture and then coat them with Italian bread crumbs patting them to make sure crumbs adhere.
4. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium high heat.
5. Add veal and sauté until lightly browned, 2-3 minutes on each side, add more oil if needed.

1. Lightly oil a baking pan or shallow baking dish. Spoon into the pan 1/2 cup of the tomato sauce. Arrange the breaded veal cutlets over the sauce, slightly overlapping them.
2. Cover breaded cutlets with remainder of tomato sauce.
3. Top breaded veal and sauce with mozzarella slices and parmesan cheese.
4. Cover baking pan with aluminum foil and bake in the center of the oven for 25-30 minutes.
5. (Optional) To brown the top, remove the foil and run the dish briefly under a broiler, watching carefully not to overcook.
6. Serve with a side of vegetables and risotto or pasta and garnish plates with parsley (optional).
