   • Cover your work surface with a sheet of waxed paper.
   • Arrange the veal cutlets on the paper, leaving a few inches between each.
   • Place another sheet of waxed paper over the cutlets.

2. Pound the Cutlets:

   • Using the bottom of a small heavy skillet or a rubber mallet, pound the cutlets out to 1/4-inch thickness.
   • If the cutlets are already 1/4 inch thick, you can skip this step.

3. Set Up Your Coating Station:

   • Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
   • Prepare 3 disposable pie tins or wide bowls and a plate, arranging them in a row.
   • In the first tin, place the flour and season with salt and pepper.
   • In the second tin, place the beaten egg with a drizzle of olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
   • In the third tin, pour out about 1 cup of cracker meal or crushed corn flakes. (Tip: Pre-crushed corn flakes from the supermarket work perfectly.)

4. Coat the Veal:

   • Dredge each veal cutlet completely in the flour, ensuring an even coating.
   • Dip the floured cutlets into the beaten egg mixture, coating both sides.
   • Gently press the veal into the cracker meal or crushed corn flakes, covering it evenly.
   • Rest the coated cutlets on the plate, ready for cooking.

5. Cook the Schnitzels:

   • Add a drizzle of olive oil and 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet.
   • Once the butter foams, carefully add the veal cutlets.
   • Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through.

6. Serve and Garnish:

   • Remove the schnitzels from the skillet and transfer them to a warm plate.
   • Sprinkle a little nutmeg over the hot schnitzels for a burst of flavor.
   • Garnish with lemon wedges, ready to be squeezed over the schnitzels just before serving.
