Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second, and breadcrumbs in the third. Working one at a time, dredge each cutlet in flour and shake off the excess, dip in the egg until fully coated, then press into the breadcrumbs on both sides until evenly covered. Set on a wire rack over a baking sheet.
