**Veal Parmigiana**
**Ingredients:**
– 4 veal cutlets
– 1 cup breadcrumbs
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 2 eggs
– 1 cup marinara sauce
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Olive oil for frying
– Fresh basil leaves for garnish
**Instructions:**
1. Start by setting up a breading station. In one shallow dish, beat the eggs. In another dish, mix together the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
2. Take each veal cutlet and season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper.
3. Dip a veal cutlet into the beaten eggs, making sure to coat it completely.
4. Next, place the veal cutlet into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing down gently to adhere the breadcrumbs to both sides.
5. Repeat the egg and breadcrumb coating process for the remaining veal cutlets.
6. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded veal cutlets and fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the cooked cutlets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
7. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
8. In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of marinara sauce. Place the cooked veal cutlets on top of the sauce.
9. Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the veal cutlets, making sure they are generously covered.
10. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the veal cutlets.
11. Bake the Veal Parmigiana in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
12. Once cooked, garnish with fresh basil leaves for a burst of flavor.
