Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Begin by preparing your workstation. Set up three shallow dishes: one with the flour, one with the beaten eggs, and one with the breadcrumbs. Season the flour with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder, mixing well to combine the flavors.

  2. Dredge each pork chop in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess. Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is completely coated. Finally, press the pork chop into the breadcrumbs, making sure it is evenly coated on both sides. Repeat with the remaining pork chops.

  3. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. To check if the oil is hot enough, drop a breadcrumb into the oil – it should sizzle immediately.

  4. Carefully place the breaded pork chops in the skillet, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the schnitzel is golden brown and cooked through.

  5. Once cooked, transfer the schnitzels to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve the Best Pork Schnitzel hot, with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
