Some tips for you
- Make sure the fillets are thin enough to cook well from inside.
- Evenly marinate the fillets well so that the spices enter the fillets.
- The coating is an important step that defines the taste of your cutlet.
- Rest the beaten egg for 10 min so that it becomes loose. This way you will need less egg wash.
