Calories 405kcal
Ingredients
- 8 veal cutlets (3 ounces each)
- 3/4 cup crushed pork rinds
- 3/4 cup unflavored whey protein powder
- 1/2 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 3 eggs beaten
- 1/2 cup avocado oil for frying
- 20 ounces marinara sauce divided
- 8 ounces mozzarella cheese divided
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- fresh parsley to serve
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the cutlets between pieces of parchment paper and use a meat mallet to pound the cutlets to about 1/8 inch in thickness.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the pork rind crumbs, whey, baking powder, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder.
- In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs together.
- Dip one cutlet at a time into the eggs then breading. Place breaded cutlets on a baking sheet pan while you finish coating the rest.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet. Once oil is hot, place 4 cutlets in the pan and fry 2-3 minutes on each side until nicely browned. Remove and fry remaining cutlets.
- Pour a half cup of sauce into a 9 by 13 baking dish. Spread it over the bottom. Place 4 cutlets on the sauce. Top with one cup sauce. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese over the sauce. Add 4 ounces of shredded mozzarella cheese over the top. Repeat this for the remaining cutlets. Cover and bake 25-30 minutes until sauce is bubbling and cheese is melted. Serve with fresh chopped parsley.
