Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Boneless pork chops
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
Place the boneless pork chops between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them with a meat mallet to about 1/4-inch thickness.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until well combined.
In another bowl, mix the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Dip each pork chop in the egg mixture, ensuring it's completely coated, then dredge it in the almond flour mixture, pressing firmly to ensure it adheres evenly.
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and hot, carefully add the coated pork chops to the skillet.
Cook the schnitzels for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and fully cooked through.
Transfer the cooked schnitzels to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil before serving.
Serve the schnitzels immediately with a wedge of lemon (optional) or alongside a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
