Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless pork cutlets
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 cups Marinara sauce
- 4 slices Fresh mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the pork cutlets on both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to enhance flavor.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add the pork cutlets to the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Transfer the pork to a baking dish.
Pour the marinara sauce evenly over the seared pork cutlets, ensuring each piece is lightly covered.
Top each pork cutlet with a slice of fresh mozzarella cheese and a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and garnish each pork cutlet with a fresh basil leaf for added color and aroma.
Serve immediately with a side of pasta, salad, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
