Steps:
- In a food processor, pulse the bread into fine crumbs. Transfer the breadcrumbs to a shallow bowl or lipped plate.
- Put the flour in a shallow bowl or plate. Break the eggs into another shallow bowl and whisk with the milk, and season with salt, and pepper to taste.
- To bread the meat: Dredge a cutlet in the flour, shaking off the excess; then dip it into the eggs, and finally coat the meat evenly with the breadcrumbs. Set on a piece of waxed paper or baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining cutlet.
- Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a medium non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. While the butter is still foaming add the breaded cutlets and cook, swirling the skillet in a tight circle (this keeps the cutlets moving around the skillet), until golden brown and cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes for the first side. Turn the meat and cook 1 minute on the second side to crisp the breading. Transfer to a plate and cover very loosely with foil while you cook the other cutlet. Serve with the lemon wedges.

Steps:
- Add the pretzels, challah and brioche to a food processor and pulse until very fine breadcrumbs form. Season the veal with salt and pepper. Put the flour and breadcrumbs in separate shallow bowls. Whisk together 2 of the eggs in a third bowl. Dip each cutlet in the flour, then the eggs and finally the breadcrumbs, making sure both sides are completely coated.
- Heat the oil in a large cast-iron pan and sear the veal, one or two at a time, until they begin to brown around the edges, around 2 minutes. Flip and add a generous tablespoon of butter per veal cutlet. When the butter begins to brown, add some of the caper berries, anchovies and parsley. Cook the meat until it's almost completely done and crispy on the outside. Remove the pan from the flame and sprinkle with the lime and lemon juice. This will stop the cooking of the meat.
- In a nonstick pan, fry the eggs sunny-side up and place one on top of each schnitzel. Sprinkle the paprika through a sieve on each before serving.

Steps:
- Pound veal with a meat pounder until very thin, being careful not to tear the meat. If you don't have veal, you can also use pork or chicken cutlets. I have used all 3 at one time or another and they are all delicious.
- Beat the eggs with lemon juice. Set aside.
- Combine bread crumbs, cheese, and seasonings. Dip the veal in egg mixture and then in the bread crumb mixture, coating evenly.
- Place the meat on a cookie sheet in single layer and refrigerate, covered with wax paper, for at least 1 hour to help keep coating intact when cooking.
- Saute veal until lightly browned on both sides, 7-10 minutes in all, in butter or olive oil.
- Serve immediately, garnished with lemon wedges and parsley.

Also known as Wiener Schnitzel, these are light and delicious. You can also make this using chicken cutlets (breasts pounded thin). To make large batches of ready to cook veal cutlets, after step 2, place them in the freezer on the cooling rack. Once frozen, wrap cutlets individually in plastic wrap and place them all into ziplock bags and back in the freezer till needed (use within 4 months).

Steps:
- Using 3 shallow dishes, place flour, salt, and pepper in one, in another whisk together eggs and water. Finally, in the 3rd dish stir together bread crumbs, zest, thyme.
- Dip cutlets, 1 at a time, into the flour, shaking off the excess. Then dip them in the egg mixture, letting excess drip off, and finally, dredge in bread crumb mixture. Transfer cutlets as coated to a large cooling rack and let dry at room temperature for 30 minutes to one hour. NOTE: This is where you would freeze them if making OAMC. Bake or fry frozen or partially thawed. For the lemon slices, mix the flour, cornmeal, and salt and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
- In a heavy skillet heat 1 inch oil over medium-high heat to 350°F When oil is ready, begin frying the cutlets. Gently place in oil and fry about 2 minutes on each side or until golden. begin frying the cutlets, 2 at a time, about 2 minutes on each side until golden. Place on cooling rack to drain.
- When cutlets are done, remove any food particles in oil remaining in skillet with a slotted spoon and discard. Dredge lemon slices in flour/cornmeal mixture, pressing firmly to coat. Fry lemon slices, turning them once, until golden, about 30 seconds per side. Transfer lemon slices to a cooling rack or paper towels to drain. Serve cutlets with fried lemon slices.
Tips:
- For the perfect schnitzel, use a meat mallet to pound the veal cutlets until they are very thin. This will help them cook evenly and become tender.
- Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the schnitzel. This will help them brown quickly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
- Do not overcrowd the pan when cooking the schnitzel. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the schnitzel will not cook properly.
- Cook the schnitzel for a few minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Be careful not to overcook them, or they will become tough.
- Serve the schnitzel immediately with lemon wedges and your favorite sides.
