Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork loin cutlets
- 1 cup Whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 3 large Egg whites
- 2 tablespoons Low-fat milk
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spray the parchment paper lightly with cooking spray.
On a large plate, spread the all-purpose flour evenly. On a second plate, mix the breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the egg whites and low-fat milk until well combined.
Pat the pork cutlets dry with a paper towel to remove any moisture. Dredge each cutlet in the flour, shaking off any excess.
Dip the floured cutlets into the egg mixture, ensuring each cutlet is fully coated on both sides.
Press each cutlet firmly into the breadcrumb mixture, coating both sides evenly and pressing to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere.
Place the breaded cutlets on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching.
Lightly spray the tops of the cutlets with cooking spray to help them brown and crisp.
Bake the cutlets in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through, with an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Once baked, remove the cutlets from the oven and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Enjoy your low-fat breaded pork cutlets with a side of fresh salad or steamed vegetables.
