Working time approx. 20 minutes; Rest time approx. 4 hours; Total time approx. 4 hours 20 minutes

with cheese and cream sauce (inexpensive and also variable in terms of ingredients)

Prepare a marinade with 3 tablespoons of oil, 1.5 teaspoons of lemon juice, 4 teaspoons of gyro seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon of paprika, and 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Cut the schnitzel into very thin strips and add them to the marinade. Mix everything well and marinate for a few hours (preferably overnight). Then fry the meat in a pan greased with olive oil (about 1 tablespoon) until crispy. In the meantime, prepare the sauce and preheat the oven to 250°C. For the sauce: Mix 200 ml of cream with the tomato paste and, if desired, paprika paste, 1/2 teaspoon of paprika powder, 1/2 – 1 teaspoon of chili seasoning salt, and the milk (about 50 ml, or more if necessary). Grease the baking dish with a little olive oil and add the crispy fried meat. Then top the meat with cheese slices (e.g., Gouda). Spread the cream and seasoning mixture over the meat. Finally, spread the Parmesan cheese and the fat from the pan over the cheese in lines. Bake the casserole dish in the oven at approximately 250°C for about 15 minutes, then add about 5 minutes of top heat to allow the cheese to brown slightly! Serve with boiled potatoes tossed in olive oil with parsley, rice noodles, or even white bread.
