Pork Schnitzel Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
- 1
Preparing the Pork
Slice the pork loin into thin cutlets, about 1/2 inch thick. Use a meat mallet to pound the cutlets to an even thickness for uniform cooking.

Breading Setup
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one for flour mixed with salt, pepper, and paprika; one for beaten eggs; and one for breadcrumbs.

Breading the Cutlets
Coat each pork cutlet in the flour mixture, shaking off excess, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

Frying the Schnitzel
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the breaded cutlets in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side.
