Schnitzel

I have been lagging on getting a Schnitzel Recipe to JT (thanks for your patienceJ) I could have just send one from the cookbook, but really wanted to put my personal touch on it (with pics). So here it is…
I usually buy a large pork loin from Costco and cut my own Schnitzel (way cheaper and way better quality). I just freeze them and defrost a package when I need them. For 4 Schnitzel you will need.
4 Schnitzel (pork loin – about 1inch thick)
Some flour
Salt and Pepper
Oil (for frying)
2 eggs
Breadcrumbs (about 1 cup) Note: I used Panko breadcrumbs this time (just because I had them) and would NOT recommend them for Schnitzel. Since Panko is thicker (larger pieces) than regular  breadcrumbs it sucks up a lot more oil).

First I hit the meat with a meat hammer until they are very thin (double the size). Salt and Pepper


Coat the schnitzel with flour, eggs (mixed), breadcrumbs (in that order)


Now fry....
                     
           
And voila...Schnitzel


That’s right there are only 3 – hmmmm…….
