How to Bread Meat (for Schnitzel etc)

Whether it is meat, vegetables or fish; the steps to crumbing them are identical.

Season the cutlet with salt and pepper. Then beat two or three eggs, whisk them together and place them in a soup plate. Place flour and breadcrumbs separately in two further soup plates or meat platters.

Turn the meat in the flour, chop off a bit and carefully place in the tray with the whisked eggs, turn and leave to drip. Finally turn the cutlets in the breadcrumbs and press down the crumbs, so that they stay well stuck to the meat.

Shake off the excess breadcrumbs, because otherwise they burn in the fat and leave a bitter taste.
