⏱ — min. Serves: —

Ingredients

  • 4 veal or pork cutlets, pounded thin
  • 4 slices of kajmak (or cream cheese if kajmak is not available)
  • 4 slices of ham or prosciutto
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • Lemon wedges and fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the Cutlets

Lay out the pounded veal or pork cutlets on a flat surface.

Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Assemble the Šnicla

Place a slice of ham or prosciutto on each cutlet.

Add a slice of kajmak (or cream cheese) on top of the ham.

Carefully roll up each cutlet, tucking in the sides to enclose the filling, and secure with toothpicks if needed.

Coat the Šnicla

Dredge each rolled cutlet in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.

Dip the floured cutlets into the beaten eggs, ensuring they are fully coated.

Roll the cutlets in breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

Fry the Šnicla

In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.

Carefully place the breaded cutlets in the skillet, seam side down.

Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.

Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Serve
