Wiener Schnitzel is a classic Austrian dish that consists of a thin, breaded, and fried cutlet of veal. It is typically served with lemon slices, parsley, and a side of potatoes or salad. However, there are many variations on the traditional recipe, including one that features a delicious combination of lemon, lime, brown butter, paprika, and fried eggs. This recipe adds a bright and tangy flavor to the schnitzel, while the fried eggs add a richness and creaminess. The result is a dish that is both satisfying and delicious.

Steps:
- Place flour, eggs and bread crumbs in 3 separate shallow plates. Season veal with salt and pepper. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Dredge veal in flour and shake off excess. Then dip floured veal in eggs and then in bread crumbs; set crumbed mixture on a rack for coating to set. In a large skillet heat 1/4-inch deep vegetable oil. When hot, add the veal without crowding in a batch and cook for 3 minutes a side. With a slotted spatula transfer the veal to a baking sheet. Set first batch in oven to keep warm. Repeat with a second or third batch until all the veal is done. Keep the veal warm in the low oven while you eat your first course. When ready to eat, center greens on a dinner plate. Cut veal into strips on the diagonal and pile in the center. Garnish with tomato salsa.

Translation of the name: 'Wiener' this word comes from the word 'Wien', which is the Austrian city called Vienna. 'Schnitzel' means basically meat in a crust. I'm German and hope you can understand my English description. Serve the schnitzels with salad, ketchup and French fries.

Steps:
- Line a large baking sheet with a double layer of paper towels. Whisk flour and 1 teaspoon salt in a wide shallow bowl. Lightly whisk eggs and cream in another wide shallow bowl until the yolks and whites are just streaky. Mix breadcrumbs and 2 teaspoons salt in a third wide shallow bowl. Pound veal slices between sheets of plastic wrap to 1/8"-1/16" thickness, being careful not to tear. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Prop a deep-fry thermometer in a large deep skillet; pour in oil so that bulb is submerged. Heat oil over medium heat to 350°F. Add butter to skillet and adjust heat to maintain 350°F.
- Dredge 2 veal slices in flour mixture; shake off excess. Dip in egg. Turn to coat; shake off excess. Dredge in breadcrumbs, pressing to adhere; shake off excess. Transfer slices to skillet. Using a large spoon, carefully baste the top of the veal with the hot oil. Cook until breading puffs and starts to brown, about 1 minute. Turn and cook until browned, about 1 minute longer. Transfer to paper towel-lined sheet. Repeat with remaining veal slices.
- Divide veal among plates. Garnish with lemon wedges and parsley or lettuce.
WIENER SCHNITZEL
Perfect golden Wiener schnitzel can be a work of art. Or it can be the worst dish of your life, more like a piece of lead. the eggs have to be beaten with a little cream to make them fluffier, the bread crumbs are not pressed onto the meat, and when you cook the schnitzel -- and you always do only one slice at a time -- you keep it moving in the pan, nearly covered with bubbling oil. That's the only way to get the coating on the veal to form a puckery, crunchy surface. I use the top round cut. The very white milk-fed veal doesn't have enough flavor. You don't have to worry so much about tenderness because the veal is pounded. Each portion is cut on the bias about a half inch thick. Make sure all the membrane, or silver skin, is removed. Slice each piece through the middle, not quite all the way, then open it like a book, a butterfly. Place it between sheets of plastic and pound it flat and evenly, not too hard. You can trim away any ragged edges.

Steps:
- One at a time, place veal pieces in heavy 1-quart plastic bag, and pound thin with meat pounder. Place veal on large platter, and lightly salt and pepper both sides.
- Put flour in shallow bowl wide enough to hold a piece of veal flat. Put eggs and cream in a similar bowl. Beat to blend. Put bread crumbs in a third similar bowl.
- Heat oven to 175 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment. Arrange bowls near stove, along with a platter covered with layers of paper towel and a small plate covered with layers of paper towel.
- Heat oil in an 11- to 12-inch skillet or sauteacute; pan, the deeper the better. When oil is quite hot, put parsley in strainer, put in oil, and fry 10 seconds. Remove parsley, draining well, and place on the small plate. Add butter to skillet, and adjust heat to medium.
- Put 1 slice veal in flour, cover well, then shake off excess. Dip in egg, turning to coat. Put in bread crumbs, coating well, then shake off excess. Put in skillet, and fry about one minute, gently moving pan in circular motion on the burner. Oil should be frothy. When breading looks bubbly and starts to brown, turn and cook another minute, then transfer to paper-towel-lined platter. Repeat with remaining veal, adjusting heat so crumb coating cooks gradually and evenly, without burning.
- Place the cooked, drained schnitzels on a baking sheet, and put in the oven until ready to serve, up to 15 minutes.
- Arrange veal on platter or individual plates. Garnish with lemon wedges and fried parsley, and serve with salad.

Steps:
- Pound cutlets thin between 2 sheets of waxed paper.
- Place flour in one dish, beaten egg in another, and bread crumbs in another. Salt and pepper each dish.
- Dip cutlets in to each dish in order: Flour, egg, then bread crumbs.
- Be sure the bread crumb coating is thin, but thoroughly covers the cutlet.
- Refrigerate cutlets for approximately 1 hour on a waxed paper covered platter.
- Melt 4 tsps. butter in a large skillet. Brown cutlets quickly on each side until golden brown and set aside.
- Melt remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and squeeze the lemon juice in to the butter.
- Stir mixture and pour over cutlets before serving.
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 to season the schnitzel well with salt and pepper before dredging it in flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs.
- When frying the schnitzel, use a large skillet with plenty of oil. This will help the schnitzel cook evenly and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
- Do not overcrowd the skillet when frying the schnitzel. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the schnitzel will not cook properly.
- To make the lemon-lime brown butter sauce, use fresh lemon and lime juice. This will give the sauce a bright and tangy flavor.
- Add the paprika to the brown butter sauce at the end of cooking. This will prevent it from burning and becoming bitter.
- Serve the schnitzel immediately with the lemon-lime brown butter sauce, fried eggs, and parsley.
