Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless pork chops
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 cups breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions
Place each pork chop between two pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, pound the pork to about 1/4-inch thickness.
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes. In the first dish, add the flour. In the second dish, whisk together the eggs and water. In the third dish, combine the breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Dredge each piece of pork in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat it with the seasoned breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure an even layer. Set the breaded pork aside on a plate.
In a large skillet, heat the butter and vegetable oil over medium heat until shimmering.
Working in batches if necessary, cook the pork schnitzels for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the cooked schnitzels to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Once all schnitzels are cooked, place a slice of Swiss cheese on top of each one while they are still warm, allowing the cheese to melt slightly.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the schnitzels. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
