Austrian Schnitzel Burger
An Austrian Schnitzel Burger swaps a standard beef patty for a crispy breaded veal or pork cutlet tucked into a bun with classic burger toppings. The combination is casual and fast, coming together in around 25 minutes for a satisfying weeknight dinner.
Equipment
- 1 Frying pan
- 1 Meat tenderizer
- 1 Mixing bowls
- 1 Tongs
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Veal cutlets Pounded thin
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 units Eggs Beaten
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs Preferably panko
- 1 tbsp Salt
- ½ tsp Black pepper
- 4 tbsp Butter For frying
- 4 pieces Burger buns Split
- 4 slices Tomato
- 4 leaves Lettuce
- ¼ cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Prepare the Schnitzel: Carefully pound each veal cutlet with a meat tenderizer until thin. Season with salt and pepper.
- Bread the Veal: Set up a breading station with three bowls: flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs. Dip each cutlet into flour, then eggs, and finally coat evenly with breadcrumbs.
- Fry the Schnitzel: In a frying pan, melt butter over medium-high heat (approximately 375°F or 190°C). Fry each schnitzel until golden brown, about 3 minutes on each side. Use tongs to turn them gently.
- Assemble the Burger: Toast the burger buns lightly. Mix mayonnaise and Dijon mustard, and spread on each half. Layer lettuce, schnitzel, tomato, and the top bun to assemble.
Notes
- To enhance the schnitzel's flavor, add a squeeze of lemon before placing it on the bun.
- For added crunch, consider adding some pickles.
