Schnitzel Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork Chops

    Place each pork chop between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound them to about 1/4 inch thick using a meat mallet.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper.

  3. 3

    Bread the Pork Chops

    Dredge each pork chop in flour, shaking off excess, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

  4. 4

    Fry the Schnitzels

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded pork chops in batches, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Transfer the cooked schnitzels to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
