Crispy Veal Cutlets with Creamy Dijon Sauce

Crispy Veal Cutlets with Creamy Dijon Sauce

Crispy Veal Cutlets with Creamy Dijon Sauce are panko-crusted, quickly fried in a hot skillet, drizzled with a pan sauce, and topped off with crispy fried shallots. It is an easy, delicious weeknight dinner on your table in under a half hour.
Using panko breadcrumbs in this recipe gives you an extra crispy cutlet and hold better when frying. Don’t forget to make sure your oil is hot and ready before putting the cutlets in! It is important not to simmer the shallots when prepping this meal, if you simmer them, they will caramelize instead of becoming crispy! Use a paper towel to soak up any of the access oil before serving.

Cook your Veal:

  1. Place cutlet in a hot skillet coated with olive oil. Your cutlet should sizzle as soon as it is placed in the skillet.

  4. Place cooked cutlets in warm oven (200 °F) to keep warm while you make the sauce.
