Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Pork cutlets
- 0.5 cups Almond flour
- 1 cup Crushed pork rinds
- 0.25 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Pound the pork cutlets between two pieces of plastic wrap until they are about 1/4 inch thick. Set aside.
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, crushed pork rinds, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs lightly.
Dip each pork cutlet into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is completely coated.
Then press each cutlet into the almond flour mixture, making sure both sides are well coated. Shake off any excess.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter with the olive oil.
Once hot, add the coated cutlets to the skillet; cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Fry the cutlets for about 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked schnitzels to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve immediately, garnished with a lemon wedge and fresh parsley, if desired.
