Step 6
Now brush the top of the cutlets with vegetable oil or simply place a small piece of butter on each cutlet to make them juicier. Put the baking sheet into a preheated oven at 200 degrees and bake for 10 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 180 and continue cooking for another 20 minutes. Our cutlets are ready, and we can proceed to taste them.
