Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork cutlets
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup almond milk
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the pork cutlets with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika on both sides.
In a shallow dish, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
In another shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and almond milk until combined.
Dip each pork cutlet into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
Dredge the pork cutlet in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs to the meat. Repeat with each cutlet.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the breaded pork cutlets to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Transfer the cooked cutlets to a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
