Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork cutlets
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
Instructions
Begin by patting the pork cutlets dry with paper towels. Set aside.
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs with the heavy cream until smooth.
Dip each pork cutlet into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess to drip off.
Immediately dredge the coated cutlet in the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating adheres well. Repeat for all cutlets.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
Carefully place the coated pork cutlets into the hot oil. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the coating is golden brown and the pork is cooked through (the internal temperature should reach 145°F).
Remove the cutlets from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon if desired.
