About the Cut

Veal scallopini should be pounded very thin for quick, even cooking. The delicate texture takes on the Parmesan crust beautifully without overwhelming the meat's subtle flavor.

Recipe Variations

  • Herb Crust: Add fresh basil or thyme to breadcrumb mixture
  • Spicy Version: Include red pepper flakes in coating
  • Lighter Cooking: Bake at 425°F instead of frying

Serving Suggestions

Serve with arugula salad, roasted tomatoes, and Pinot Grigio. Perfect with pasta marinara or risotto milanese.
