INGREDIENTS

1/2 pound veal cutlets 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided 1 large egg 1 tablespoon milk or water 1/2 cup breadcrumbs 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided 2 large shallots, chopped (about 1/4 cup) 8 ounces exotic mushrooms, such as crimini, oyster, baby bella and shitake* 1/2 teaspoon herbes de Provence** 1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth 2 lemon wedges *Exotic mushrooms make this dish special.
