directions

  • Combine flour, salt and pepper to make a 'seasoned flour.'
  • Combine egg, oil and pinch of salt.
  • Coat escalopes with seasoned flour, patting it in thoroughly.
  • Brush with beaten egg mixture and then coat with breadcrumbs, pressing crumbs on well.
  • Heat butter or oil (or a combination of oil and butter) in a large skillet and fry escalopes over medium heat for 3 - 4 minutes on each side until golden brown and tender. For a crisp, even coating, do not let escalopes touch each other in pan and do not move them for the first 2 - 3 minutes of cooking so a coating can form.
  • Drain escalopes thoroughly on paper towels and arrange on a platter.
  • Garnish with lemon halves and serve at once.

  1. Great recipe that is fast and easy to make. I made one serving for my bf and he really enjoyed this. Served this with some fresh tomato sauce, pasta, and Recipe #220537.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a grandmother who loves having the grandkids around. My son is currently living with me (on a short term basis) so I get to see and spend time with his kids more than I ever had, and that's a great thing. I love trying new recipes and since I have found RecipeZaar, the new dishes have been streaming. Sometimes I think the kids would prefer a little break, but until they speak up, it's something new for them about everytime they visit with us. I don't consider myself a 'cook,' I can only follow recipes. To me a cook is someone who can come up with their own recipes and have success at it (like my daughter).
