COTOLETTA ALLA MILANESE

Steps:

• After removing the membranes of the cutlets, flatten them with a tenderizer.
• Beat the eggs in a bowl and dip the cutlets in, one at a time. Keep the bone out.
• Next, cover the cutlets in breadcrumbs, making sure they stick by pressing down with the palms of your hands.
• In a shallow pan, heat the butter. When the butter begins to foam, add the cutlets. Cook for 7-8 minutes on each side, making sure the butter doesn't brown and the cutlets remain soft and slightly golden. Sprinkle some salt on the side that's cooked, then finish cooking the other side. Serve with some lemon slices.
