Dredge cutlets in flour, shaking off excess, and dip in egg, letting excess
drip off. Coat cutlets with bread crumb mixture and put on a
wax-paper-lined tray.Chill cutlets 15 minutes.

In a 12-inch non-stick skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot
but not smoking and saute cutlets 1 1/2 to 2 minutes on each side, or until
golden and just cooked through. Remove skillet from heat.

Make salad:

In a bowl combine watercress and onion and drizzle with oil, tossing to
coat. Add lemon juice and salt and toss well.

Transfer cutlets with a slotted spatula to paper towels to drain briefly
and arrange on plates. Top cutlets with salad and serve with lemon wedges.
