Instructions
Prepare the Cutlets
Place pork cutlets between sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet until about quarter inch thick. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
Set Up the Breading Station
Place flour in one shallow dish, beaten eggs in a second dish, and breadcrumbs in a third dish. Coat each cutlet first in flour shaking off excess, then egg, then breadcrumbs pressing gently to adhere.
Fry Until Golden
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium high heat until shimmering. Fry each schnitzel 3 to 4 minutes per side until deep golden and cooked through, frying in batches to avoid crowding.
Drain and Serve
Transfer cooked schnitzel to a paper towel lined plate and let drain 2 minutes. Serve immediately with lemon wedges for squeezing and a simple side salad or fries.
