Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup plain/all-purpose flour
  • 1 beaten egg
  • 1 cup of breadcrumbs
  • 1 Schnitzel Veal, Pork, Beef, Lamb or Chicken

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Schnitzel:
    Before crumbing your Schnitzel, make sure it is prepared and ready to go.
    This means it should be pounded thin, seasoned with salt and pepper.
  • Set up Your Crumbing Station:
    To crumb your Schnitzel, you will need a crumbing station.
    This should include three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
  • Dip in Flour:
    Take your prepared Schnitzel and dip it in the flour, making sure it is coated evenly.
    Shake off any excess flour.
  • Dip in Egg:
    Next, dip the Schnitzel in the beaten eggs, making sure it is coated evenly.
    Let any excess egg drip off.
  • Coat in Breadcrumbs:
    Finally, coat the Schnitzel in the breadcrumbs, making sure it is coated evenly.
    Press the breadcrumbs onto the Schnitzel to ensure they stick.
  • Rest the Schnitzel:
    For the perfect schnitzel, it's important to let the crumbed schnitzel rest in the fridge before cooking.
    This allows the breadcrumbs to adhere to the meat and prevents them from falling off during cooking.

    While a few minutes of rest time is sufficient, it's recommended to let it rest for at least 30 minutes for optimal results.
  • Cook the Schnitzel:
    To cook your crumbed Schnitzel, heat a frypan with oil over medium-high heat.
    Once the oil is hot, add the Schnitzel and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Serve and Enjoy:
    Once your Schnitzel is cooked, serve it hot with your favorite sides and enjoy!
