Instructions

  • Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them.
  • Sprinkle the breadcrumbs in a dish with high sides to prevent mess!
  • Dip the slices of meat in the egg, let them drain a little then put them in the breadcrumbs.
  • Sprinkle more breadcrumbs over the top and press down well on the meat with your fingers to help the crumbs stick. Turn the meat over and repeat.
  • Heat oil on medium in a frying pan.
  • When the oil is hot put in the slices of meat.  Depending on the size of your pan, you may have to cook them separately, and add extra oil during the process. Sprinkle salt on the meat as it is cooking.
  • When the meat is browned, flip it over and cook on the other side.  If the meat is thin, this precess should take only 2 or 3 minutes.
  • Place the cooked meat on a plate covered in paper towels.  Place more paper towels on top and press on the meat to remove as much oil as possible.
  • Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
