Instructions for Pork Schnitzel
Step 1: Prep the Pork
Start by tenderizing the pork chops with a meat mallet or rolling pin until they’re about 1/4-inch thick. This helps them cook quickly and evenly. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Step 2: Set Up the Breading Station
In one shallow bowl, place the flour. In a second shallow bowl, beat the eggs. In a third shallow bowl, add the bread crumbs and season them with a little more salt and paprika.
Step 3: Bread the Pork
Dredge each piece of pork first in the flour, coating it lightly, then dip it into the egg wash, ensuring it’s completely covered. Finally, press the pork into the bread crumbs, making sure it’s evenly coated on all sides. This creates that crispy, golden crust when fried.
Step 4: Fry the Schnitzel
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter and oil. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, carefully add the breaded pork chops to the pan. Fry each side for 3-4 minutes, or until the schnitzels are golden brown and crispy. Remove them from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
