Season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and black pepper, to taste.
- Combine breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese in a medium bowl. In another bowl beat eggs.
Dip cutlets in egg, then breadcrumbs.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. If cooking in two batches, add half of the butter and olive oil.
- When butter melts, add the cutlets and cook about 4 to 6 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat.
