    Prepare the Almond Crust Milanesas: Pat the cutlets dry. In one shallow dish, mix almond flour, grated Parmesan, salt, and pepper. In another, beat the eggs. Dip each cutlet first in egg, then in the almond flour mixture, pressing to coat well. Fry in olive oil over medium heat until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side.
