METHOD

Step 1

Place pork loin chops between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound them with a meat mallet until they are about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 2

Season both sides of the pork with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Set up a breading station: place flour in one shallow dish, beaten eggs in another, and breadcrumbs in a third.

Step 4

Dredge each pork chop first in the flour, then dip into the egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs, pressing to ensure the crumbs stick.

Step 5

In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Step 6

Fry the breaded pork schnitzels in batches for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 7

Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.

Step 8

Serve immediately with lemon wedges to squeeze over the top.
