Hi friends! Today, I’m sharing a classic Italian-American dish that’s easy to make and so delicious: Veal Parmesan with Tomato Sauce. This recipe is perfect for a comforting dinner, and it’s one of my favourites. Let’s get started!

Ingredients (Serves 4)

• 4 thin veal cutlets (about 150g each)
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 eggs (beaten)
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
• 1 cup tomato sauce
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste

Steps to Make Veal Parmesan

1. Prepare the veal cutlets:

• Pat the veal cutlets dry with a paper towel.
• Lightly season both sides with salt and pepper.

2. Set up the breading station:

• Place the flour on one plate.
• In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs.
• On another plate, mix the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, oregano, and garlic powder.

3. Bread the veal:

• First, coat each veal cutlet in the flour, shaking off any excess.
• Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring it’s fully coated.
• Finally, press it into the breadcrumb mixture, coating both sides well.

4. Fry the veal:

• Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
• Add the breaded veal cutlets and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
• Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

5. Assemble the dish:

• Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
• Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.
• Place the fried veal cutlets on top.
• Spoon more tomato sauce over each cutlet.
• Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.

6. Bake:

• Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

7. Serve:

• Serve the veal Parmesan hot, with a side of pasta, salad, or garlic bread.

Cooking Tips

• If you like extra cheese, sprinkle more Parmesan on top before baking.
• For a healthier option, bake the breaded veal instead of frying it.
