👨‍🍳 Method

For the Crispy Coating

  1. 1
    Spread the flour on a flat plate.
    💡The flour dries the surface, the egg sticks to it and holds whatever comes next. Without the flour, the coating tends to peel off during frying.
  2. 2
    Beat the eggs in a wide bowl.
    Bowl
    💡Work with one "dry" hand for the dry coating and one "wet" hand for the egg, so your fingers don't get caked in layers of coating.
  3. 3
    Spread the crumbs on another flat plate and season with salt and black pepper.

To assemble

  1. 4
    Pat the cutlets dry with paper towels and season with a little salt and pepper.
  2. 5
    Pass each cutlet through the breading stations in order, pressing well so the coating sticks.
  3. 6
    Heat the oil in a wide pan over medium-high heat and fry 3–4 minutes on each side, until the coating is golden and crisp.

    💡What you brown (meat, patties, schnitzel) goes into hot oil: in lukewarm oil it soaks it up and comes out greasy. For onion and garlic that you soften, oil heated over medium or low heat is enough; do not wait for it to smoke.
  4. 7
    Transfer to paper towels.
  5. 8
    Serve hot with the lemon.
