This Pork Schnitzel is all about crispy, golden, pan-fried goodness. Thin pork cutlets, breaded and fried to crunchy perfection.
Ingredients
Instructions
Tenderize the pork: Using the flat end of a meat tenderizer, pound the pork working from the center out until the cutlets are ¼" thick. Season each pork cutlet with salt and pepper.
Bread the pork: Prepare 3 shallow dishes. One will have the flour, one will have the eggs (beaten), and the last one will have the breadcrumbs. Season each dish with salt and pepper. Dredge each cutlet through flour on both sides, next through the beaten egg and finally through the breadcrumbs. Place them on a large plate and repeat with remaining cutlets.
Fry the pork: Fill a large skillet with about ½" of oil over medium-high heat and heat it until it's 350°F. Fry the cutlets for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they're a nice deep golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate and repeat with remaining schnitzel. You might have to change the oil halfway through if it gets too dirty.
Serve: Serve with lemon wedges and mustard over mashed potatoes.
