Roman schnitzel

4 servings

40 minutes

Roman schnitzel is an elegant and simple dish of Italian cuisine inspired by classic cooking techniques. Unlike traditional meat schnitzel, cheese plays the main role here, acquiring a crispy golden crust after frying in breadcrumbs while remaining tender and gooey inside. This dish recalls Roman culinary traditions that used minimal ingredients to create maximum flavor. The light acidity of tomatoes and the freshness of green onions perfectly complement the creamy texture of the cheese, while spinach and potatoes turn it into a hearty dinner. Roman schnitzel is great as an appetizer or main course and can be served with various sides and sauces for flavor experimentation.
