My aunt showed me this 4 ingredient method to make a classic comfort meal without the messy grease

My aunt is the queen of cozy, no-fuss dinners, and this is the method she passed down to me when I first moved into my own place. Instead of standing over a splattering skillet, you get classic, crispy breaded veal cutlets baked right in the oven with just four simple ingredients. The meat stays tender, the coating turns a deep golden brown, and cleanup is as easy as tossing a piece of foil. It’s the kind of comfort meal you can pull off on a weeknight without turning your kitchen into a greasy mess.

I like to serve these crispy veal cutlets with a simple green salad and roasted vegetables so everything can cook in the oven at the same time. Mashed potatoes or buttered egg noodles are great if you’re craving something extra comforting, and a squeeze of fresh lemon over the cutlets right before serving really brightens the rich, crunchy coating. Leftovers are amazing sliced over a salad or tucked into a sandwich with a little mayo and lettuce.
