Step 1
Pat pork cutlets dry. Place between plastic wrap and pound to 1/4-inch thickness.
Step 2
Lay one slice ham and one slice cheese on each cutlet. Roll tightly and secure with toothpicks.
Step 3
Set up three bowls: flour in one, beaten eggs in the second, panko in the third. Season panko with salt and pepper.
Step 4
Coat each roll in flour, then egg, then panko, pressing gently so breading adheres.
Step 5
Heat 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering.
Step 6
Fry rolls 3 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese starts leaking from edges.
Step 7
Transfer to a plate. Squeeze fresh lemon over top and serve immediately.
