Easy Pork Schnitzel Recipe
Pork Schnitzels are breaded and fried to perfection for an easy and delicious meal the whole family will love.
Servings: 4 Schnitzels
Ingredients
- 4 pork cutlets
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- ⅔ cup all purpose flour
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- ¼ cup olive oil for frying
- Lemon wedges
Instructions
- Using the flat end of a meat tenderizer, pound 4 pork cutlets until they are ½ inch thick. Season the flattened cutlets with the 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, and 2 teaspoons garlic powder.
- In 3 separate shallow dishes place the ⅔ cup all purpose flour, 2 eggs, and 1 cup panko bread crumbs. Dredge the cutlets in the flour, coating evenly. Next coat them in the eggs, allowing any excess egg to drip off the cutlets back into the bowl. Lastly, coat them completely in the panko bread crumbs.
- Heat ¼ cup olive oil for frying in a large skillet over medium high heat. When the oil is hot, place two of the coated cutlets in the oil and fry for about 3 minutes on each side. The pork should be golden brown and cooked completely through.
- Remove the cooked schnitzel from the oil and place them on a paper towel lined plate to allow any excess oil to drain off. Repeat this process with the remaining two breaded cutlets.
- Serve the schnitzel fresh with Lemon wedges and fresh parsley.
