Cotoletta alla milanese is a fried veal breaded cutlet similar to Wiener schnitzel, but cooked with the bone in. It is traditionally fried in clarified butter. Due to its shape, it is often called oreggia d'elefant in Milanese or orecchia d'elefante in Italian, meaning 'elephant's ear'.Emilia-Romagna

Cotoletta alla palermitana is similar to a milanese, but the veal is brushed with olive oil, and then baked or grilled instead of being fried. The breadcrumb is often mixed with parsley and pecorino cheese and, unlike the milanese cutlet, the palermitana cutlet does not have eggs in its breading.Various breaded meat dishes prepared in Argentina and Peru were inspired by the cotoletta alla milanese and are known as milanesa. In Argentina, Peru, and Uruguay, milanesa a la napolitana is made similar to the cotoletta with a preparation of cheese and tomato.
