Schnitzel Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

1

Prepare the Pork

Pound the pork cutlets to about 1/4 inch thickness using a meat mallet. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

2

Set Up Breading Station

In three separate shallow dishes, place the flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs.

3

Bread the Cutlets

Coat each pork cutlet in flour, shaking off the excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, then coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

4

Fry the Schnitzel

In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add breaded cutlets in batches, frying for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

5

Serve

Serve the schnitzels hot, garnished with lemon wedges and chopped fresh parsley.
