  • Arrange the slices facing up on a baking tray.
  • Combine the butter with the garlic, parsley and salt.
  • Spread the garlic butter mixture over both cut sides of the rolls. Sprinkle both sides with parmesan.
  • Grill (broil) for 2–3 minutes or until crispy and golden.
  • Meanwhile, to make the caesar filling, add the mayonnaise, garlic, anchovies (if using), lemon juice, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Whisk to combine, then tumble the cos lettuce in. Toss with tongs to coat generously in the dressing.
  • To assemble, pile the toasted rolls with the chicken schnitzels, caesar salad and a generous sprinkle of parmesan. Serve immediately.

Thaw the frozen schnitzels overnight in the fridge. Garlic butter can be made up to 5 days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the fridge. Caesar dressing can be made 2 days ahead and stored in an airtight container in the fridge. Garlic bread can be prepped (buttered and topped with cheese) and stored in the fridge for up to 1 day before grilling. Leftover schnitzels can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
