Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless pork cutlets (schnitzel)
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 5 large Eggs
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.33 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.5 cup Thinly sliced ham
- 0.5 cup Cooked and crumbled bacon
- 0.5 cup Grated cheese (Swiss or cheddar)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Start by preparing the pork schnitzel. Place each pork cutlet between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet until thin (about 1/4 inch thick).
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour mixed with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, the second with 2 beaten eggs, and the third with breadcrumbs.
Coat each cutlet in the flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally press into the breadcrumbs until evenly coated. Set aside.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the breaded cutlets for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden and crispy. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together 2 eggs, 1/3 cup milk, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and a pinch of salt. Lightly grease a non-stick skillet with butter and pour in the egg mixture.
Cook the Eierkuchen (pancake) over medium-low heat until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
To prepare the omelet, whisk the remaining egg and mix in the ham, bacon, grated cheese, and parsley (if using).
In the same skillet used for the Eierkuchen, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat and pour in the omelet mixture. Cook until the edges begin to set, then carefully fold the omelet in half and cook another 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
To assemble, place one schnitzel cutlet on a plate, top with half of the Eierkuchen, and place the ham-bacon omelet on top. Repeat for the second serving.
Garnish with additional parsley, if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy the rich, savory fusion of flavors!
