Ingredients:

• 4 veal or pork cutlets, pounded to about 1/4-inch thickness
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• All-purpose flour, for dredging
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• Vegetable oil, for frying
• Lemon wedges, for serving
• Parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cutlets: Season the veal or pork cutlets with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Dredge in Flour: Place some flour on a plate or shallow dish. Dredge each cutlet in the flour, shaking off any excess.
3. Coat in Eggs: Dip the floured cutlets into the beaten eggs, ensuring they are evenly coated.
4. Coat in Breadcrumbs: Coat the cutlets in breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere the breadcrumbs to the surface.
5. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
6. Fry the Cutlets: Carefully place the breaded cutlets in the hot oil, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. You may need to work in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
7. Drain and Serve: Once cooked, transfer the Wiener Schnitzel to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
8. Serve: Serve the Wiener Schnitzel hot, garnished with lemon wedges and chopped parsley if desired. Traditional accompaniments include potato salad or parsley potatoes.

Enjoy the crispy exterior and tender interior of this iconic German dish – it’s sure to become a favorite at your dinner table!
