Modern guidance to help you succeed with this vintage recipe
The egg wash creates a protein-rich binding layer that helps bread crumbs adhere to the veal's surface. When broiled, the Maillard reaction between proteins and carbohydrates in the breading produces a golden, crispy crust while the egg acts as an insulating barrier, keeping the lean veal moist. Pounding the cutlets to uniform thickness ensures even cooking and tenderizes the meat by breaking down muscle fibers.
Cutlets can be pounded and breaded up to 4 hours ahead. Place on a wire rack set over a baking sheet, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and refrigerate. Let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes before broiling.
Store cooked cutlets in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 375°F oven on a wire rack for 8-10 minutes to maintain crispness. Do not microwave, as this will make the breading soggy.
