    This veal cutlet recipe is probably the most impressive recipe I have made recently! It is so easy to make and quick to come together, but when you are finished and put it on your plate, it looks and tastes like a gourmet dinner set in front of your family.

    I found these veal cutlets very easy to work with. Because they are thin, they cook quickly, making it a very easy meal to serve any day of the week.

    This recipe is also easy to begin the prep a few hours ahead of time. When I tested the recipe out, I refrigerated the breaded veal cutlets until I was ready to actually cook them. It worked out perfectly because I didn't have to worry about doing the dipping and dish dirtying when we were hungry and wanting to eat as soon as possible!

    Grumpy's reaction to this particular recipe was that it was delicious and he would definitely eat it again. His comments after he had eaten were "I didn't know I would like veal so much. You can definitely make this more often." A good thing because I love feeding my family nutritious and delicious food that is not hard to prepare!

    How do you get a crispy veal cutlet?

    • You should start with a very thin veal cutlet. Pound it out with a mallet if needed). This allows the meat to cook quickly and remain tender.
    • Be sure to use Panko breadcrumbs. These are crumbs made from crustless bread that is coarsely ground. They hold up better when frying and stay crispier than regular breadcrumbs.
    • Make sure your skillet is hot and coated well with oil before placing your cutlet in it.

    I consider this recipe true comfort food.

    Comfort food is something that makes you feel good. The reason I consider this comfort food is because this recipe has a crispy and creamy combination of layers and textures. It starts with the crispy veal cutlet, topped with a creamy dijon sauce, then finished off with more crispiness with the fried shallots.

    Top Tips

    • The most important thing is you do not want to simmer. Simmering will caramelize, not crisp.
    • Start out with a medium-high heat. If the shallots seem to be browning too quickly, turn the heat down, remove the pan from the heat and stir to move that heat around. Then return to a lower temperature until they are browned and crispy.
    • Place them on a paper towel to drain excess fat. This allows the fat to absorb into the towel rather than sit on the shallots and soften them.

      I don’t have shallots, can I use yellow onion?

        Yes, shallots are stronger in flavor, but yellow onion will work as well. Just be sure to thinly slice them. I hope you enjoy the recipe!

      OMG these look so good. I finally tried making cutlets a few months ago and now wonder what took me so long. And those fried shallots look "to die for."
