Instructions
Bread the Cutlets
Mix breadcrumbs, garlic powder, and salt together. Dip each pork cutlet in beaten egg then press into the breadcrumb mixture to coat evenly on both sides.
Heat the Pan
Heat olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering and very hot before adding the pork.
Fry the Cutlets
Add breaded pork cutlets to the hot pan without overlapping. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side until deep golden brown and cooked through to 145 degrees F.
Rest and Serve
Transfer to a paper towel lined plate and rest for 1 minute before serving with lemon wedges.
