Instructions

1. Step 1: Place 4 veal cutlets between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to 1/4 inch thickness with a meat mallet. Season both sides of each cutlet with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
2. Step 2: Set up three shallow dishes: Place 1/2 cup all-purpose flour in the first dish, whisk 2 large eggs with 1/4 teaspoon salt in the second dish, and combine 1/2 cup fine dry breadcrumbs with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper in the third dish.
3. Step 3: Dredge each cutlet: Dip one cutlet in flour (shaking off excess), then in egg mixture, then in breadcrumb mixture (pressing gently to adhere). Place on a wire rack and let rest for 10 minutes.
4. Step 4: Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Fry cutlets in batches for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
5. Step 5: Whisk 1/4 cup sour cream, 2 tablespoons fresh dill, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl to make the sauce.
6. Step 6: Serve schnitzel drizzled with the lemon-dill sauce, garnished with additional dill and lemon wedges.
