A delicious Pork Schnitzel recipe made with a few pantry staples that comes together quickly and is loved by the entire family. The pork loin chops are pounded thin, seasoned, and breaded before being fried to a golden brown perfection.
1: Pound out each pork loin chop until it is very thin, about 1/8 inch.
2: Season the pork with salt and pepper.
3: Set up your dredging station with three wide shallow bowls: one for flour, one for eggs, and one for bread crumbs.
4: Prepare a cast iron pan with enough vegetable oil to cover halfway up the pork when frying.
5: Take each thin pork cutlet and press into flour, shake off excess, dip directly into egg to coat all sides, then press into the breadcrumbs.
6: Set the breaded pork off to the side on a baking sheet and repeat until all are breaded.
7: Turn the heat onto medium-high, and heat the vegetable oil for frying.
8: Fry the breaded pork in hot oil one at a time for 3-4 minutes each side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 160°.
9: Set the cooked pork schnitzel onto a baking sheet lined with a cooling rack and sprinkle with flaked sea salt while still hot.
10: Keep the schnitzel warm in the oven until all are done frying.
11: Serve schnitzel with fresh lemon wedges.
