milanesa napolitana

Milanesa napolitana adds tomato and melted cheese to a breaded meat cutlet. Ham is a common addition: Visit Argentina describes the version served at a Buenos Aires bodegón with ham, tomato and mozzarella. These neighbourhood restaurants serve generous portions of familiar dishes, and milanesas are among their usual offerings. The breaded meat can be fried or baked.^[1]

Cocineros Argentinos prepares beef slices with a seasoned egg mixture containing milk, garlic, parsley and mustard, then coats them in breadcrumbs. After frying, the cutlets are topped with tomato sauce, cheese and tomato slices and put in the oven to melt the cheese. Oregano and chopped garlic finish this version, which is served with chips or mashed potatoes.^[2]
