Milanesa & Suprema
Suprema Napolitana
The chicken cousin of the Argentine napolitana family: a fried suprema gratinéed under ham, tomato, and mozzarella, slid into a pan francés before the salamander gives up its window.

The plain beef milanesa is the cutlet every other version is named against, where the only real decision is which cut goes under the breading.

Milanesa with lettuce and tomato; basic but popular.

Milanesa a Caballo
In Argentina a caballo is not a dish but a finish: two fried eggs ridden over the top. On a milanesa sandwich the broken yolk is the sauce a dry, crisp cutlet never had.
