How to Make Pork Cutlets - Paper Thin & Delicious
Recipe for Pork Cutlets
Ingredients
3–4 Boneless pork chops
Frying Oil + Olive Oil
Egg Mixture:
2 Large eggs
Few dashes Hot sauce
1 Tbsp Chopped Parsley
3 Tbsp Parmesan Grated Cheese
½ Tsp Black Pepper
Pinch of salt
Breadcrumb Coating:
1 ¼ Cups Plain Breadcrumbs
¼ Cup Parmesan Grated Cheese
2 Tbsp Chopped Parsley
½ Tsp Salt
Steps
1. Slice pork chops with a sharp knife into thin cutlets, about 4-5 per chop. Don’t worry if some pieces tear because they’ll fry up extra crispy.
2. In a large bowl, whisk eggs with hot sauce, parsley, Parmesan, black pepper, and salt. Add pork cutlets and mix to coat well. Let marinate 15–20 minutes.
3. In a large baking dish, mix breadcrumbs with Parmesan, parsley, and salt.
4. Drop each cutlet in the breadcrumb mixture and cover it well, pressing firmly with your fingers so the crumbs stick and the meat flattens even thinner.
5. Heat 1 inch of oil (neutral + olive oil) in a skillet with high sides to 350°F.
6. Fry cutlets in batches, 1½–2 minutes on the first side, and 1 minute on the second side, or until golden brown and crispy.
7. Transfer to a wire rack so they can drain, and season with a final pinch of salt.
8. Serve with lemon wedges.
This recipe will teach you how to make the best pork cutlets. They're just as good, if not better, than chicken cutlets because they're much cheaper, more flavorful, and come out extra crispy and delicious. You can use boneless pork chops or pork loin to make these cutlets. These are very similar to the classic Pork Milanese so they go best with just a squeeze of lemon.
