Breakfast Pork Cutlets are a savory and satisfying way to start your day. These cutlets are seasoned, breaded, and pan-fried to perfection, offering a deliciously crispy exterior with a tender and juicy interior.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless pork cutlets (about 1/2 inch thick)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 cup breadcrumbs or panko
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Optional: Fresh herbs (such as thyme or parsley) for garnish
Directions
- If the pork cutlets are thick, use a meat mallet to pound them to an even 1/2-inch thickness.
- In a shallow dish, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- In another shallow dish, beat the eggs with the milk.
- Place the breadcrumbs in a third shallow dish.
- Dredge each pork cutlet in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess. Then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat with the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add enough vegetable oil to coat the bottom.
- Once the oil is hot, add the breaded pork cutlets. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the pork cutlets from the skillet and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Serve the pork cutlets hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
- These pork cutlets can be paired with eggs, hash browns, or your favorite breakfast sides.
