Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless pork chops
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Milk
- 1 cup Sliced almonds
- 0.5 cups Breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cups Vegetable oil
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Instructions
Place each pork chop between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound it with a meat mallet or rolling pin until it is about 1/4-inch thick.
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper.
In a second shallow dish, beat the eggs with the milk.
In a third shallow dish, mix the sliced almonds and breadcrumbs together.
Coat one pork chop in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the egg mixture and finally coat it with the almond and breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Repeat with the remaining pork chops.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the schnitzels to the skillet (working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding) and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked schnitzels to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for a bright, tangy finishing touch.
