Tender, crispy and delicious, this traditional German dish is an awesome recipe to make! Although pork is used here, chicken or veal are great substitute.

How To Make pork schnitzel

  • Step 1
    Place plastic wrap on pork chops and pound them out with the flat side of a meat tenderizer until about ¼-inch thick.
  • Step 2
    In a large shallow dish, add flour, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt and freshly ground black pepper; whisk to combine. In another shallow dish, whisk egg and half-and-half together; set aside. In a 3rd shallow dish, add breadcrumbs.
  • Step 3
    Place chop one at a time in flour mixture and dredge until well coated; shake any excess flour. Transfer coated chop into egg mixture and then bread crumbs, pressing to adhere evenly on meat. Place on baking sheet while working on the others
  • Step 4
    In a large skillet over medium-high heat, combine oil and butter. When hot, place pork cutlets and cook until, brown and crispy, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer cutlets on a baking sheet lined with paper towel to absorb any fat. Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges. Makes 4
