Ingredients
Scale

- 8 oz fresh mushrooms (button or cremini), sliced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup all-purpose flour, seasoned
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 4 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Gather and slice the cutlets thinly if needed for even cooking.
- Create Your Breading Station: Set up three shallow bowls with seasoned flour, beaten eggs, and panko breadcrumbs.
- Pound the Cutlets: Use a meat mallet to pound each cutlet to about 1/4 inch thick.
- Bread the Schnitzels: Dredge cutlets in flour, dip in eggs, then coat evenly with breadcrumbs.
- Fry Until Golden: Heat butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry schnitzels for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Sauté Mushrooms and Onions: In another pan, melt remaining butter over medium heat. Cook onions until translucent; add mushrooms and sauté until browned.
- Create the Cream Sauce: Stir heavy cream into the mushroom mixture and cook until slightly thickened.
