Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork cutlets
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
Instructions
Place the pork cutlets between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to about 1/4 inch thickness using a meat mallet.
In a shallow dish, mix almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow dish, whisk eggs together with heavy cream until smooth.
Dip each pork cutlet into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge them in the almond flour mixture, pressing to ensure the coating sticks well on both sides. Set aside on a plate.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the breaded cutlets to the skillet in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Cook the cutlets for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove cutlets from the skillet and place on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Serve immediately with your choice of low-carb side dish or salad.
