German Schnitzel

Directions Print

1. Cut pork loin or tenderloin into desired portion sizes.
2. Place the pork cuts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a meat tenderizer until about ¼ inch thick.
3. Crack and whip eggs in a bowl, place flour in a separate bowl and bread crumbs in another separate bowl.
4. Dip the pork cuts into the flour first, then the egg wash, then the bread crumbs, making sure to coat both sides. Shake off any excess bread crumbs.
5. Ensure cooking oil is hot (325-350 degrees).
6. If frying in a commercial fryer, place chop in fryer for about 5-6 minutes. If pan frying, fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side. The pork should be a deep golden brown. When done, place pork on a plate lined with paper towels.
7. Note: Serve garnished with sliced lemons and parsley. Serve with spaetzle, German potato salad, or even French fries.
