Schnitzel a La Holstein

yaya78006's Note:

There is a lot of German influence in the hill country of Texas and this is one of our favorite meals to have. I have to squeeze lots of fresh lemon on my schnitzel. We love this dish with spaetzle. I have that recipe posted too.

Great schnitzel! I had to use more than 1/2 cup of the flour and breadcrumbs and 3 eggs because my 4 cutlets were very large. And I opted to use sauteed onions and peppers as garnish. Delicious!

Schnitzel is one of my favorite things after preparing this dish for my family! Everyone else liked it as well so it is must try. The taste of the egg and capers with the lemon on top is perfect. I will be making this again for sure.
