Pork Schnitzel Recipe

Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time15 minutes
Total Time25 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 4 Boneless pork chops pounded thin about a ¼ inch thick
  • 1 Cup of flour
  • 1½ Teaspoon of salt
  • ½ Teaspoon of ground black pepper
  • 1 Teaspoon of smoked paprika
  • ¼ Teaspoon of ground nutmeg optional
  • 2 Eggs beaten
  • ¼ Cup of milk
  • 1 Cup of bread crumbs
  • 1-2 Cups of neutral flavored oil such as canola or vegetable

Garnishes:

  • Coarse salt
  • Flat Leaf parsley minced
  • Lemon wedged

Instructions

  • Optional – Preheat oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit: If you are doing 4 pork chops like this recipes recommends, then I suggest that you cook them in batches. Have your oven preheated to 200, and fry two of the schnitzels during step 2. Then place them on a baking sheet and in the oven so that they stay warm while you fry up the other two schnitzels.
  • Bread the pork chops: Get out 3 large bowls, or walled platers. In the first one add the flour, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Mix these together. In the second one add the two beaten eggs and the milk. Finally, in the last one add the breadcrumbs. Now individually bread the pork chops by dredging them first in the flour mixture, then the egg mixture, and finally the bread crumbs. Set these aside.
  • Fry the schnitzels: Get out a large walled pan. Add enough of the neutral-flavored oil so that there is a ⅛th of an inch layer in the bottom of the pan. Place this pan over medium-high heat, until the oil is shimmery, about 2 minutes. Then add in the pork schnitzels in batches, and fry them on both sides for 3 minutes each.
  • Serve the pork schnitzels with salt and pepper to taste, some of the minced parsley, and a lemon wedge. Enjoy.
