Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 4 oz each) Pork loin cutlets
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1.5 cups Breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 4 pieces Crusty sandwich rolls
- 4 large Lettuce leaves
- 1 large, sliced Tomato
- 8 slices Dill pickles
- 4 tablespoons Spicy mustard
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
Instructions
Place the pork loin cutlets between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Use a meat mallet to pound them to about 1/4 inch thickness.
In a shallow dish, mix the flour, salt, and black pepper. In a second shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and water. In a third shallow dish, place the breadcrumbs.
Dredge each pork cutlet first in the flour, then dip it into the egg mixture, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs. Press gently to ensure the breadcrumbs stick evenly.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded cutlets in batches, avoiding overcrowding the pan.
Cook each cutlet for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Slice the crusty sandwich rolls in half and lightly toast them if desired.
Spread 1 tablespoon of spicy mustard and 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on each bottom half of the rolls.
Layer each roll with a lettuce leaf, a few slices of tomato, and two slices of dill pickle.
Place a schnitzel cutlet on top of the vegetables, then close the sandwich with the top half of the roll.
Serve the schnitzelwich immediately while the cutlet is still warm and crispy. Enjoy!
