Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) of pork loin or tenderloin
  • 1 cup of all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup of breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • Vegetable oil for frying (enough to cover the bottom of the pan)
  • Lemon wedges for serving

  • Instructions

  • Start by laying your pork loin or tenderloin pieces between two sheets of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet to gently pound them to about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour seasoned with salt and pepper, another with beaten eggs, and the last with breadcrumbs.
  • Take each piece of flattened pork and coat it in the flour, shake off excess, dip it into the beaten eggs, and then coat it in breadcrumbs.
  • In a large skillet, heat enough vegetable oil over medium heat to cover the bottom of the pan. Fry the breaded schnitzels for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
  • Once cooked, transfer the schnitzels to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
