Step 1
Pat cheese cutlets dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Set up three shallow bowls: flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second, panko in the third.
Step 3
Dredge each cheese cutlet in flour, shake off excess, dip in egg, then coat thoroughly with panko.
Step 4
Heat butter and oil in a large skillet over medium-high until oil shimmers, about 60 seconds.
Step 5
Fry cheese cutlets 90 seconds per side without moving until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a plate.
Step 6
Wipe out skillet. Add 3 tbsp butter, zest of lemon, parsley, and capers over medium heat.

Squeeze lemon juice into the pan and swirl until the sauce is fragrant and glossy, about 30 seconds.
