Pork Schnitzel Recipe
Ingredients:
• 4 boneless pork chops (thinly pounded to about 1/4 inch thick)
• Salt and pepper (to taste)
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs (beaten)
• 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil (or more, for frying)
• Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Pork:
• Place each pork chop between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound the chops until thin.
• Season both sides with salt and pepper.
2. Set Up a Breading Station:
• Place flour in one shallow dish, beaten eggs in a second, and a mixture of breadcrumbs, Parmesan (if using), paprika, and garlic powder in a third.
3. Bread the Pork:
• Dredge each pork chop in flour, shaking off excess. Dip it in the beaten eggs, then coat it evenly in the breadcrumb mixture.
4. Cook the Schnitzel:
• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Fry each schnitzel for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Work in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding the pan.
• Transfer cooked schnitzel to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
5. Serve:
• Serve immediately with lemon wedges, potato salad, or a side of green salad.
Enjoy your crispy and tender pork schnitzel!
