Directions:Position rack in middle of oven and preheat broiler to high. Place panko in a shallow dish and dredge cutlets in it, pressing gently to fully coat. Heat 1½ tbsp oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the cutlets and cook until crispy, 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with 1½ tbsp oil and the remaining cutlets. Season with salt and pepper.
Add the remaining 1 tbsp of oil and garlic to the pan; cook, stirring often, until softened and fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in tomato sauce and sugar and bring to a boil over medium-high. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes
Nestle the cutlets into the sauce in the pan. Top with ½ cup basil, mozzarella and Parmesan. Transfer the pan to the oven. Broil until the cheese is bubbling, 2-3 minutes. Let cool for 3 minutes before serving and top with the remaining basil. |
