Milanesa a la Napolitana
Breaded beef cutlet topped with tomato sauce, ham, and melted mozzarella, baked until bubbly.
Why It Works
Pounding the beef thin ensures it cooks through quickly, staying juicy under the insulating layer of cheese; the breadcrumb crust stays partially crispy even under the sauce.
