Schnitzel Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
- 1
Prepare the Pork
Pound the pork loin pieces to about 1/4 inch thickness using a meat mallet. This helps to tenderize the meat.
- 2
Season the Flour
In a shallow dish, mix the flour with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
- 3
Prepare the Breading Stations
Set up three shallow dishes: one with the seasoned flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
- 4
Bread the Pork
Dredge each piece of pork in the flour, shaking off excess, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to adhere.
- 5
Fry the Schnitzels
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded pork and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side.
