Veal Parmigiana is a popular Italian-American dish that is commonly served in many restaurants and homes. It is typically made with breaded veal cutlets that are topped with tomato sauce and melted cheese. The recipe likely originated in southern Italy, and has since become a beloved comfort food for many people around the world. When made properly, Veal Parmigiana is crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and full of flavor.

8.In a baking dish, arrange the veal pieces in a single layer.
9.Spoon the sauce over the veal pieces, completely covering them with the sauce.
10.Top each veal piece with a thick slice of mozzarella cheese, then sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the top.

PROS

Veal Parmigiana is a classic Italian dish that is hearty and filling.
The combination of breaded veal, tomato sauce, and melted cheese is comforting and delicious.

CONS

This dish is high in calories and fat, and may not be suitable for those on a restricted diet.
It also requires a fair amount of prep work and cooking time, making it better suited for a weekend meal rather than a quick weeknight dinner.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Veal is a good source of protein, and also contains vitamins and minerals such as B vitamins, iron, and zinc. Tomatoes are high in vitamin C and lycopene, an antioxidant that has been linked to a reduced risk of certain cancers. However, the cheese and breadcrumbs used in this recipe add extra calories and fat to the dish.
