Cotoletta alla Milanese

Cotoletta alla Milanese is one of Italy’s most iconic dishes. A golden, crispy breaded veal cutlet that deserves the right pan. Our Heritage Pro series, with its fully steel 3-ply construction, delivers even heat and superior browning for a perfectly crisp crust and tender interior every time. With precise temperature control and a cool-touch golden handle, it’s designed to bring authentic, restaurant-quality Italian cooking into your home.

For this recipe you can also use pork or chicken if veal is too hard to find.

Recipe

2 veal cutlets (or pork/chicken cutlets), pounded thin
Salt and black pepper
2 dl of flour
2 eggs, beaten
2 dl of fine breadcrumbs
Butter or a mix of butter and oil, for frying
2 garlic cloves
rosemary/thyme
Lemon wedges, for serving

Season the cutlets with salt and pepper. Coat each cutlet first in flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally cover with breadcrumbs.

Heat butter or a mix of butter and oil in a pan over medium heat until shimmering. Add some garlic and herbs to the butter. Remember to pre heat your pan, if you're using a stainless steel pan. Fry the cutlets for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Transfer briefly to paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges.
