Snappy Schnitzel
3 eggs
salt and pepper to taste
3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups soft breadcrumbs
1/4 cup olive oil
1 habanera pepper
5 ounces Gruyere cheese, thinly sliced
Lemon slices
Place cutlets between sheets of wax paper; flatten to 1/8-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
Combine eggs, salt, and pepper; beat well. Dredge cutlets in flour; dip in egg mixture, and coat with breadcrumbs.
Remove top of pepper and cut in half. In a large pan over medium heat, add olive oil; add pepper and cook until oil is infused. Remove pepper. Add cutlets and cook one to two minutes or until golden brown. Turn cutlets and cook an additional one to two minutes; top with cheese. Garnish with lemon wedges.
Non Dairy.
Instead of cheese:
1 ripe tomato sliced into appropriate number of slices
1/4 cup soft bread crumbs
3 tablespoons non dairy butter such as Earth Balance, melted
1 slice pancetta per cutlet
Melt buttery spread and mix with bread crumbs.
Cook cutlets per above recipe. Remove from pan. Add pancetta and cook until just crispy. Place pancetta on top of each cutlet, add tomato slice and sprinkle with salt and pepper; top each tomato with bread crumb/butter mixture. Broil until golden brown.
Pancetta can be used in dairy version as well. This also works beautifully with chicken breasts.

Post a CommentLove the addition of the habanera pepper to infuse the oil! may I come to your home for dinner?
My husband grows habaneras. He just finished this summer's batch. He dried them and ground them - he puts it on everything and then I watch the sweat pouring down his face. His whole family goes wild over food that tends to eat holes in their stomachs!
