Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Pork loins
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Begin by placing the pork loins between two pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, gently pound each slice to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch.
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until smooth.
Dip each pork slice into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
Transfer the egg-coated pork to the almond flour mixture, pressing down lightly to adhere the coating. Turn and repeat to coat all sides. Shake off any excess.
Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted and bubbling.
Carefully place the coated pork slices into the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove schnitzels from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Serve immediately, garnished with chopped fresh parsley and lemon wedges for squeezing on top.
