Milanese-style Veal Chop

Yield: 4 servings

4 bone-in veal chops
1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs
3/4 cup flour
2 eggs
1/2 cup butter
Salt and pepper, to taste

Beat the eggs with a healthy grind of pepper in a shallow bowl. Set up two plates: one with the flour, and one with the breadcrumbs.

Start with one veal chop and dredge it in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then, dip the floured chop in the egg mixture, until completely covered on both sides. Next, lay the veal chop on the breadcrumbs, covering both sides. Repeat with the additional three veal chops.

Melt the butter in a large sauté pan until hot and golden. Add each veal chop, being careful not to overcrowd the pan, and cook for about ten minutes per side.

When golden and crispy, and when the meat is done, serve immediately with a pinch of salt, and garnish with sliced lemon.
