for schnitzel, cutlets, sausage etc.

Sometimes, for example, you have to prepare schnitzel without egg in the breading because of an egg intolerance or if you simply don’t have any eggs in stock. A quick and easy way is this: Prepare the schnitzel as usual: pound and season on both sides. Now, using a knife, spread tomato paste or mustard on the front and back. Not too thickly, but enough to cover the entire schnitzel. Now coat the schnitzel in flour, then in a little milk or cream, and then in the breadcrumbs as usual, pressing the breading down firmly. Then fry in a pan with hot oil. I like to use tomato paste – it makes the schnitzel very flavorful. Mustard, on the other hand, gives it a slightly sour taste – which goes well with breaded Leberkäse, for example.
