Servings: 4

Ingredients

Beef cutlets
4, pounded to 1/4-inch thickness
Flour
1 cup
Eggs
2, beaten
Breadcrumbs
2 cups
Vegetable oil
for frying
Salt
to taste
Pepper
to taste
Tomato sauce
1 cup
Ham slices
4
Mozzarella cheese
1 cup, shredded
Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup, grated
Fresh basil
for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pound the beef cutlets to flatten them to about 1/4-inch thickness for even cooking and a tender bite.
  3. In a shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper, mixing well to ensure an even coating.
  4. In another shallow dish, beat the eggs until well mixed.
  5. Dredge each beef cutlet in flour, shaking off any excess, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and coat it thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture.
  6. Heat enough vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat to cover the bottom of the pan.
  7. Fry the breaded beef cutlets until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Ensure that the oil is hot enough to prevent the cutlets from becoming greasy.
  8. Transfer the fried cutlets to a baking dish.
  9. Top each cutlet with a generous spoonful of tomato sauce, a slice of ham, and a handful of shredded mozzarella cheese.
  10. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top for added flavor.
  11. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  12. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving to add a touch of color and freshness.
