Who Needs To Fry? Crispy Schnitzel In The Oven Is The Way To Go.
If you happen to follow Eti Efinger on Instagram, you will know that she cooks and bakes constantly. With a family of 9 children b’H and constant guests coming and going, her house is forever hustling and bustling. We visited earlier this year to photograph her at work. You may have enjoyed the other recipes she shared here on BCP, including these super popular Israeli-style pancakes and her Tofu Stir-Fry. Next up is schnitzel baked in the oven, one of her many favorites. Eti makes her schnitzel in the oven because it’s both healthier and baking makes it much easier to feed a crowd.
So, let’s see how she does it…

Combine the wet dredge ingredients. If time allows, marinate the chicken cutlets in the wet dredge for up to 2 hours.

Combine crumbs ingredients.

Bread the cutlets in the crumbs.

Line up chicken on a prepared baking sheet.
