Ingredients11

• beef round or veal cutlets4 (about 600 g)
• all-purpose flour80 g
• eggs2
• fine dry breadcrumbs150 g
• salt1 tsp
• black pepper1/2 tsp
• vegetable oilfor shallow frying

Method

1. Pound the cutlets thin between plastic wrap, then season both sides with salt and pepper.
2. Set up three shallow dishes: flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs. Coat each cutlet in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs, pressing so the crumbs stick.
3. Heat a shallow layer of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the cutlets until golden on both sides, then drain on paper towels.
4. Arrange the fried cutlets in a baking dish. Top each with a slice of ham, a spoonful of tomato sauce, and sliced or grated mozzarella. Sprinkle with oregano.
5. Bake at 200°C until the cheese is melted and lightly browned, about 8 to 10 minutes. Serve immediately.
