4. To place the breaded meat
Haul the meat through the flour on both ends, ensure there is no loose flour by shaking it a bit and move on to the next plate. Repeat the process with the egg, ensure the meat is evenly covered. The same applies to the final step when breading, ensure to shake prior to moving to the final plate where it can rest prior to cooking.
Repeat this process per piece of meat until all have been done.

Can be served with a nice salad straight from the plate, some chips as a side dish will make a great combination as well.
Some gypsy sauce will work on this dish too
