milanesa napolitana

Argentina · Latin America

Short description: This breaded cutlet is finished like a saucy, cheesy main plate rather than served plain.
Ingredients: Beef cutlet breaded with egg and breadcrumbs, then topped with tomato sauce, ham, mozzarella, oregano, and often fries.
Cultural note: It is associated with casual restaurants, family meals, and generous plates where the cutlet, topping, and fries arrive together.
Common misconception: The name may suggest a Mediterranean city, but this preparation is a local cutlet style rather than a pasta dish.
