Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless pork chops
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs (unseasoned)
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Place the pork chops between two sheets of plastic wrap and use a meat mallet to pound them to about 1/4-inch thickness. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Prepare a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with all-purpose flour, one with beaten eggs mixed with milk, and one with breadcrumbs.
Dredge each pork chop in the flour, shaking off excess. Then dip into the egg mixture and finally coat thoroughly with breadcrumbs. Press gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere well.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
Carefully place the breaded cutlets in the skillet, cooking 2 at a time if needed to avoid overcrowding. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and fully cooked through.
Transfer the cooked cutlets to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Preheat the oven broiler on high. Place the cutlets on a baking sheet and top each with a slice of Swiss cheese.
Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and broil for 1-2 minutes, just until the cheese melts. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an added tangy flavor.
