Ingredients

• 10 pork cutlets

• 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste

• 1 teaspoon pepper, or to taste

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• 2 large eggs, or more if needed

• 2 cups breadcrumbs regular or Panko

• vegetable oil, for frying

Directions

Step 1

With the flat-end of a tenderizer, pound out the pork starting from the center, going out until the cutlets are about 1/4-inch thick.

Step 2

Season each pork cutlet with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Prepare 3 dishes for coating the pork cutlets—one with the flour, one with the beaten eggs, and the other with breadcrumbs.

Step 4

Season each of the bowls with your salt and pepper.

Step 5

Dip each of the cutlets through the flour on each side, next through the beaten egg, and finally through the breadcrumbs.

Step 6

Place them on a large plate and repeat with the remaining cutlets.

Step 7

Then, fill a large skillet with oil until 1/2-inch full, heating it over medium-high temperature to 350 degrees F.

Step 8

Fry each of the pork cutlets in batches for around 2 to 3 minutes on both sides or until they're a deep, golden brown.

Step 9

Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and repeat with the remaining schnitzel.

Step 10

Serve hot and enjoy!
