Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pound the 2 pork cutlets to an even 1/4 inch thickness. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Set up a breading station: place the 1/4 cup flour on a plate, beat the 1 egg in a shallow bowl, and spread the 1/2 cup breadcrumbs on another plate.

  3. Step 3

    Dredge each cutlet in flour, then dip in the egg, letting excess drip off, and press into breadcrumbs to coat evenly.

  4. Step 4

    Heat the 1/4 cup vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Fry the cutlets until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

  5. Step 5

    Serve the cutlets with the 2 cups coleslaw mix on the side, dressed with a little vinegar or your favorite dressing if desired.

Tools you’ll need

  • Meat mallet or rolling pin
  • Large skillet
  • 3 shallow dishes for breading
  • Paper towels
