Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork cutlets
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1.5 cups breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 4 pieces lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Place the pork cutlets between two sheets of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound the cutlets to about 1/4-inch thick.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one for the flour, one for the eggs and milk (whisked together), and the third for the breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Dredge each pork cutlet in the flour, shaking off excess. Dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated, and then press it into the breadcrumb mixture, covering evenly.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Fry the pork cutlets in batches, avoiding overcrowding the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer cooked cutlets to a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges, if desired, and enjoy your crispy pork cutlets.
