Veal Milanese

To bread them, pat each in a bowl of bread crumbs (or, for first layer, flour), turning to cover each side. Then dip to cover in 2 beaten eggs. Then, pat each side in bowl of bread crumbs. Place on waxed paper for about 15 minutes to dry.

Heat olive oil in a big pan. Fry the cutlets on high heat about three minutes on each side. They should be golden brown but not burned.
