Breaded Veal Milan-Style - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 lb. veal scaloppine
flour for dredging
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 egg
1 tsp. water
2 Tbsp. plus 1/2 tsp. peanut, vegetable or olive oil
1/4 tsp. grated nutmeg
3/4 c. fresh bread crumbs
1/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese
2 Tbsp. butter
2 to 4 lemon slices

Preparation

Unless the scaloppine are very small, cut them into pieces measuring about 3 x 3-inches or slightly larger.
Place them between sheets of wax paper and pound lightly to flatten, using the bottom of a heavy skillet or a flat mallet.
Season the flour with salt and pepper.
Beat the egg with the water, the 1/2 teaspoon of oil and nutmeg.
Blend the bread crumbs with Parmesan.
Dip the scaloppine on both sides first in flour, then in egg and finally in the bread crumb mixture.
As the scaloppine are breaded, place them on a flat surface and tap lightly to help the bread crumbs adhere. Heat the butter and remaining oil in a heavy skillet and add the scaloppine.
Cook until golden brown on one side, 2 to 4 minutes. Cook until golden brown on the other side.
Serve hot with sliced lemon.
