💡 Consejos de Profesional
- ✓For extra crispy milanesas, you can double-bread them: after the first breading, dip them in egg again and then in breadcrumbs.
- ✓Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve a crispy crust and prevent the milanesa from absorbing too much oil.
- ✓You can add a tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese to the breadcrumbs for added flavor.
