It consists of a veal cutlet (scannello or sottonoce) coated with eggs, flour and breadcrumbs. It is first fried in lard or butter, then covered with a slice of ham and a handful of Parmesan cheese, then briefly sprinkled with meat broth to flavor and moisten it. Finally, it is baked in the oven until the cheese has melted.
It is often served with truffles, particularly trifola, a small and fragrant white truffle from the Apennines near Bologna).[citation needed][original research?] Occasionally some tomato paste is added to the baking pan.[citation needed][original research?]
The recipe was deposited at the Italian Academy of Cuisine at the Chamber of Commerce of Bologna on 14 October 2004.[4]
