Ingredients
In this Viennese adaptation, the traditional American Cheesesteak is transformed into a breaded and fried cheese cutlet. The original dish typically uses thinly sliced beefsteak, sautéed onions, and melted cheese on a hoagie roll. However, in the Viennese version, the focus shifts to the cheese itself, which is breaded and fried to create a crispy exterior and a gooey, melted interior. This adaptation embraces the Viennese love for breaded and fried dishes, adding a unique twist to the original concept. We alse have the original recipe for Cheesesteak, so you can check it out.
