Instructions
Here’s how to make the best pork schnitzel with a twist:.
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
- Tenderize your pork loin chops by pounding them thin with a meat mallet or rolling pin.
- In a shallow dish, mix together the flour and spices.
- In another shallow dish, beat the eggs.
- In a third shallow dish, mix together the breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese.
- One at a time, dredge each pork chop in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
- Dip each chop into the beaten eggs, making sure to coat both sides.
- Finally, press each chop into the breadcrumb mixture, coating well.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the breaded pork chops to the skillet and cook until browned on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Transfer the pork chops to a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
The Twist
So, what’s the twist with our pork schnitzel? We’ve added a generous helping of sautéed mushrooms and onions on top. This savory combination adds a depth of flavor that really elevates the dish.
To make the mushroom and onion topping, simply sauté sliced mushrooms and onions in a bit of butter until they are soft and caramelized. Spoon the mixture on top of the pork schnitzel just before serving. Trust us, it’s delicious!.
Serving Suggestions
Pork schnitzel is traditionally served with lemon wedges and a side of German potato salad. However, you can also serve it with other classic German sides like sauerkraut, spätzle, or red cabbage.
For a lighter option, try serving the pork schnitzel with a green salad dressed in a light vinaigrette.
Conclusion
Pork schnitzel with a twist is a delicious and satisfying meal that will have your taste buds dancing. The tenderized pork, crispy breadcrumb coating, and savory mushroom and onion topping make this classic German dish even better.
