Ingredients

  • 4 pork cutlets
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Place the pork cutlets between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them with a meat mallet until they are about 1/4 inch thick.
  2. Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
  3. Dredge each pork cutlet in the flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
  4. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the pork cutlets for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.
  5. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sliced mushrooms. Cook until the vegetables are soft and the liquid has evaporated.
  6. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, and bring the sauce to a simmer. Cook for a few minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Place the pork schnitzels on serving plates and spoon the mushroom cream sauce over the top. Serve hot and enjoy!
