Baked Party Schnitzels: Crispy, Golden, and Oven-Baked Perfection

Serving: These schnitzels are perfect for parties, served with a dipping sauce such as aioli, mustard, or your favorite creamy dressing. You can also pair them with potato salad, steamed vegetables, or a simple side of greens.
Storage: Store leftover schnitzels in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them back in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes to restore their crispiness.
Variants
Vegetarian Schnitzels: Use thick slices of eggplant or zucchini as a meat substitute. Coat and bake the vegetables in the same way for a delicious plant-based version.
Spicy Schnitzels: Add some cayenne pepper or chili flakes to the breadcrumb mixture for a spicy kick.
Herb-Crusted Schnitzels: Incorporate finely chopped fresh herbs like parsley, thyme, or rosemary into the breadcrumb mixture for added flavor.
FAQ
Q: Can I make these schnitzels ahead of time?
A: Yes, you can bread the schnitzels and refrigerate them for up to 4 hours before baking. This allows the breading to set and helps the schnitzels crisp up nicely in the oven.

Q: Can I fry these schnitzels instead of baking?
A: Yes, if you prefer frying, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the schnitzels for about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden and crispy.

Q: Can I freeze these schnitzels?
A: Yes, you can freeze the breaded schnitzels before baking. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze, then transfer to a freezer bag or container. Bake directly from frozen at 400°F (200°C) for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through.
