Cheese and Mushroom Schnitzel – Gluten-free version

👨‍🍳 Method

For the Crispy Coating

1. 1
   Spread the gluten-free flour blend on a flat plate.

   💡The gluten-free flour blend dries the surface, the egg sticks to it and holds whatever comes next. Without the gluten-free flour blend, the coating tends to peel off during frying.
2. 2
   Beat the eggs in a wide 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.

To assemble

1. 4
   Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

   ⚙ Preheating the OvenOven

   💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
2. 5
   Sprinkle the cutlets with the salt, black pepper and paprika.
3. 6
   Pass each cutlet through the breading stations in order, pressing well so the coating sticks.
4. 7
   Heat the oil in a wide pan over medium-high heat and fry 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.

   💡A crowded pan steams the mushrooms and they release water. In a single layer, over high heat and without stirring at first, they brown.
