Instructions
-
11. Meat Prep: Season the cutlets with salt and pepper. Dip each piece first into the beaten egg and then into the breadcrumbs, pressing firmly so the breading adheres well.
-
22. Frying: Heat plenty of oil in a large skillet. Fry the cutlets over medium-high heat until golden and crispy on both sides. Drain on paper towels.
-
33. Neapolitan Assembly: Place the fried cutlets on a baking sheet. Top each with a slice of ham, followed by a thick tomato round, and cover generously with mozzarella cheese.
-
44. Gratin: Sprinkle dried oregano and a pinch of black pepper over the cheese. Bake or broil at 200°C (400°F) for 5-7 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
-
55. Fries Prep: Meanwhile, fry the potato batons in hot oil until golden and crisp. Drain on paper towels and season with salt immediately.
-
66. Serving: Serve the milanesa hot on a plate with a mountain of rustic fries on the side for a clean and professional presentation.
