A Taste of Italy

Ingredients:

* 1 pound veal cutlets, pounded thin * 1/2 cup all-purpose flour * 2 eggs, beaten * 1 cup breadcrumbs * 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese * 1/4 cup chopped parsley * 1/4 cup olive oil * Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). 2. Dredge the veal cutlets in flour, then egg, and finally breadcrumbs. 3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. 4. Cook the cutlets for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. 5. Transfer the cutlets to a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, or until cooked through. 6. Serve hot with your favorite sides.

Tips:

* For a more authentic flavor, use veal cutlets from the round. * If you don't have a meat mallet, you can use a rolling pin to pound the cutlets thin. * You can also add a little garlic powder or oregano to the breadcrumbs for extra flavor. * Serve the cotoletta with a side of spaghetti and marinara sauce for a complete meal.
