Pork With Parmesan Coating Schnitzel

Recipe #136546 | 40 min | 30 min prep | add private note

Lightly flavoured with lemon, oregano and parmesan, a nice blend of flavours. The secret step to these is the chilling for at least 20mins before cooking. This helps the crumbs to dry out a little resulting in a crispy finish that has stuck to the meat. I sometimes cook these in a single layer in a shallow baking dish on the lower rack of my oven, turning them once. (It's like using the baking dish as a large frying pan so that they can be cooked all at the same time.)

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Combine the first measure of breadcrumbs, oregano, parsley and parmesan in a shallow dish and mix well.
  2. 2
    In another shallow dish place the beaten eggs.
  3. 3
    In a third shallow dish put the second measure of breadcrumbs.
  4. 4
    Coat the schnitzels both sides with the plain breadcrumbs.
  5. 5
    Dip into the beaten egg and then coat with the herb and cheese breadcrumb mix.
  6. 6
    Lay the coated schnitzels on a flat tray or plate in a single layer and chill in the refrigerator for at least 20mins. Do not skip this step!
  7. 7
    Heat the oil or butter or a mix of both in a large frying pan and cook the schnitzels for 3-5 minutes on each side, until golden and cooked through.
  8. 8
    Serve with a fresh lemon wedge to squeeze extra juice over if desired.
  9. 9
    *Note -- Prep time includes chilling time.

I use this technique with many of the breaded recipes that I make. The chill time in the refrigerator is what keeps the breading from coming off during the frying. I really enjoyed the flavors in the breading and the parmesan cheese takes it over the top. The lemon wedges squeezed over the pork adds a great refreshing touch. Made for Nov. 2009 Aussie/NZ Swap.

    I used veal for this-I think it worked just fine. It's an unusual method-crumbs>egg>seasoned crumbs, rather than seasoned flour first>egg>seasoned crumbs, but my coating certainly stayed on well! The oregano and parmesan were a good addition.

    Lovely flavor & the lemon gives it just the right balance. I used Italian bread crumbs so cut back a bit on the oregano. Did only one cutlet, no problem.Served with Dijon mustard. Thanks Jen for a delightful dinner
