Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 veal cutlets, pounded to 1/4-inch thickness
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Season the veal cutlets with salt and pepper.
- Dredge each cutlet in the flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and coat with the breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan cheese.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the breaded veal cutlets and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
- Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Place the browned veal cutlets on top of the sauce. Spoon the remaining marinara sauce over the cutlets.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of each cutlet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with chopped fresh basil before serving.
Veal Parmigiana, also known as veal parm, is a classic Italian-American dish that has its roots in Southern Italy. It consists of breaded and fried veal cutlets, topped with marinara sauce and melted mozzarella cheese. The dish is then baked to perfection, resulting in a crispy, cheesy, and saucy delight. The origins of Veal Parmigiana can be traced back to Italian immigrants in the United States, particularly in the New York and New Jersey regions. It quickly became a staple in Italian-American cuisine and is now a popular menu item in many Italian restaurants across the country. One of the key elements of a delicious Veal Parmigiana is the quality of the veal. It should be tender and flavorful, and the breading should be crispy without being greasy. The marinara sauce plays a crucial role as well, as it adds a rich and savory flavor to the dish. While the traditional recipe calls for veal, some variations use chicken or eggplant instead. Each version offers its own unique twist on this beloved dish. For an authentic and mouthwatering Veal Parmigiana experience, consider visiting renowned Italian restaurants in New York City's Little Italy or New Jersey's Italian enclaves. These establishments often boast skilled chefs who have perfected the art of creating the perfect Veal Parmigiana.
