Schnitzel

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless pork chops, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Place the pork chops between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to 1/4-inch thickness.
  2. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper.
  3. Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
  4. Dredge each pork chop in the flour, then dip in the beaten eggs, and coat with breadcrumbs.
  5. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. Fry the breaded pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Remove the schnitzel from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  8. Serve hot with lemon wedges and your choice of side dishes.
