How to make perfect pork schnitzel.
Trim excess fat from pork loin, cover with plastic wrap to prevent splatter. Then using a meat mallet pound thin to about ¼ inch.
Set up bowls of flour, beaten egg/milk and bread crumbs. I like really fresh tasting bread crumbs so I make my own. Fine bread crumbs seem to work best for this recipe and I prefer them over panko bread crumbs.
Dredge cutlets in flour, then beaten egg milk mix followed by bread crumbs.
The pork is then fried until golden and crisp approximately 3-4 minutes per side.

This recipe is a winner! So easy to make, we were at the table 45 minutes after starting. I added a Tab of white wine to the sauce. Thanks for the recipe. My husband definitely wants it again.

I like to season the flour and crumbs with spices like garlic granules,onion granules, some paprika, salt and pepper. When I am done with the flour, I mix it into the crumbs ratio of 3 crumbs to 1 flour (or less). Once they are all coated in crumbs, I allow them to sit for about half an hour. This will enable the flour in the crumbs to make it stick better to the egg. You do not lose any of the crumbs while cooking, or very little at the best.

Did u pound the pork chops?
Laureen King
Yes, for sure you must pound the pork chops, or buy pork cutlets which are already pounded down.
