What is this Italian dish?

Cotoletta, also known as "cotoletta alla milanese," is a classic Italian dish originating from Milan. It consists of a breaded and fried veal cutlet, typically pounded thin to ensure even cooking and tenderness. The preparation involves dipping the veal cutlet in beaten eggs, coating it with breadcrumbs (often mixed with Parmesan cheese and sometimes parsley), and then frying it until golden and crispy. Cotoletta is traditionally served hot with a wedge of lemon, which adds a zesty contrast to the rich and savory flavors of the crispy outer coating and tender veal inside. It is a beloved dish in Italian cuisine, celebrated for its simplicity, quality ingredients, and delightful textures.
