Kay's Veal Parmesan 🍽️🍝

Indulge in this classic Italian dish that brings together the savory goodness of veal and the rich flavors of marinara and cheese! Perfect for a family dinner or a special occasion, this recipe is sure to impress your loved ones. Serve it alongside a fresh salad and some garlic bread for a complete meal that's simply irresistible! 🥗🍞

Ingredients

For the veal

2 lbs veal cutlets (or turkey breast slices for a lighter option)
2 large eggs, beaten
1 cup flour
1 ½ cups bread crumbs mixed with 4 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon salt
¾ teaspoon pepper

For the topping

2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 cups Italian meat sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Additional grated cheese and oregano (to taste)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the veal cutlets between wax paper to pound them thinly. This tenderizing process helps the meat cook evenly.

🔨 Use a meat mallet or a rolling pin to pound the cutlets. The thinner the cutlets, the more tender they'll be after cooking!

Set up a dipping station: one plate with flour, another with beaten eggs, and a third with the breadcrumb mixture seasoned with salt and pepper.
Dip each cutlet into the flour, coating it lightly, then into the egg, and finally into the bread crumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry each cutlet until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

🍳 Make sure not to overcrowd the pan. Frying in batches allows for even cooking and crispy results!

Transfer the browned cutlets to a baking dish. Top each with shredded mozzarella cheese, spoon over the Italian meat sauce, and sprinkle additional grated cheese and oregano on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

🔥 Keep an eye on the dish while baking, as oven temperatures can vary. You want that cheesy, melty perfection!

Serving Suggestions

Serve your Veal Parmesan hot with a side of spaghetti or a mixed green salad. Drizzle with a little extra olive oil and a sprinkle of fresh basil for added flavor! 🌿

Variations

Turkey Parmesan: Substitute the veal with turkey breast slices for a lighter, protein-packed version that's just as delicious. 🦃
Vegetarian Option: Replace the veal with eggplant or zucchini slices. Bread and fry until golden, then follow the same baking instructions.
Spicy Kick: Add red pepper flakes to the breadcrumb mixture for a zesty twist! 🌶️
Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free breadcrumbs and flour substitutes to cater to dietary needs while keeping the flavor intact!
