COTOLETTA ALLA MILANESE

Veal Chop Milanese Style

How to make the Veal Chop Milanese Style:

Use veal chops that have been pounded to about 1/3-in. thick. Dip them in milk for 30 min. and strain, then dip them in the beaten egg and bread them, pressing the crumbs onto the meat with the palm of your hand.

Melt the butter in a frying pan and saute the breaded chops for 3 min.. on each side over a medium heat. Turn only once. The crust should be golden-brown and the meat should be pink. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve the cotoletta alla milanese with a slice of lemon.
