Crispy Pork Schnitzel

Easy recipe for Crispy Pork Schnitzel that come together in under 20 minutes. Pork cutlets that have a crisp coating and are tender and juicy inside.

My recipe for Homemade Onion Mustard sauce tasted great with the Crispy Pork Schnitzel. A great side dish to serve with the schnitzel is Garlic Mashed Potatoes and your favourite steamed vegetables. This quick and easy to make pork recipe makes a great dinner the whole family will love.

Trim excess fat from pork loin, cover with plastic wrap to prevent splatter. Then using a meat mallet pound thin to about 1/4 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.

 Top with Homemade Onion Mustard sauce.
