To make your own 20 minute veal schnitzel sliders simply…

Into a large bowl, place the buttermilk, egg, plain flour and salt and whisk thoroughly to combine. Add the veal schnitzels and mix thoroughly to combine.

Place the cornflake breadcrumbs onto a large plate.

One at a time, remove the veal schnitzels from the batter (allowing excess to drip off) and carefully dredge through the cornflake breadcrumbs ensuring the schnitzel is completely covered. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining schnitzel.

Heat a fry pan to medium heat. Cover the base of the fry pan with a thin layer of olive oil. Gently place the schnitzels into the pan and cook for 4 minutes or until golden. Gently flip each schnitzel and cook for another 3 minutes or until golden and cooked through. Place the cooked schnitzels on a plate lined with kitchen paper and continue frying until no schnitzel remains. Set aside.

To assemble the 20 minute veal schnitzel sliders:

Lightly toast the bread rolls and smear with a generous tablespoon of mayonnaise. Top with baby spinach leaves, the golden veal schnitzel, tomato slices, ribbons of cucumber, swiss cheese and more baby spinach leaves.
