To obtain a perfect breaded and fried slice, it is important that the meat is soft and thin, therefore it should be beaten with a meat tenderizer until the desired thickness is obtained. Subsequently, the slice is dipped in beaten egg with salt and pepper and then covered in breadcrumbs mixed with grated cheese. It is important to repeat the operation to make the crust thicker and more uniform. Once breaded, the slice is fried in plenty of hot olive oil until golden brown.

In summary, the breaded and fried slice is a delicacy that everyone likes, perfect for any occasion, to be enjoyed both hot and cold.

To further enhance the flavor of the breaded and fried slice, it is recommended to combine it with an aromatic and intense red wine such as a Monica di Sardegna or a Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, which thanks to their spicy aromas will best enhance the flavors of the dish .
Enjoy your meal!
