Chicken Schnitzel au Fromage – topped with melted cheese

Crispy coating underneath, stringy melted cheese on top: the heartiest of our three chicken schnitzels.

A golden breaded chicken schnitzel, generously blanketed with melted cheese that turns lightly golden under the grill and drapes over the crisp crust in creamy ribbons. Every bite pairs the crunchy coating with soft, molten cheese for a comforting, savoury delight. Served with golden fries, steamed vegetables, fresh lemon, homemade coleslaw and a garlic dip.

Topping a schnitzel with cheese isn’t a new idea – but it’s one that works. For our chicken schnitzel au fromage, we lay cheese over the breaded chicken and leave it under the grill until it melts and turns golden at the edges. Craving a cheese-topped schnitzel in Mannheim? This is our take.

Crunchy and creamy

It’s all about the contrast: the crisp coating below, the soft, lightly browned cheese on top. Under the grill the cheese picks up a toasty flavour that goes perfectly with the breadcrumbs. A squeeze of lemon cuts through the richness.

What comes with it

The same as all our chicken schnitzels: golden fries, steamed vegetables, fresh lemon, coleslaw and a garlic dip. The vegetables and coleslaw are especially welcome here, because the cheese and coating are pretty filling.

Our three schnitzels at a glance

If you just want the coating and a squeeze of lemon, order the Chicken Schnitzel Panée. If you’d rather have a sauce than cheese, go for the Chicken Schnitzel à la Béchamel with mushrooms. Au fromage is the heartiest of the three.

At the table and at parties

A little bowl of muhammara – walnuts and red pepper – or some hummus to share makes a good start. At family parties in our event hall, the cheese-topped schnitzel is often what the kids eat while the grown-ups share grilled meat and mezze.
