Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Place a pork cutlet between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound until 1/4-inch thick.

  2. Step 2

    Lay one ham slice and one cheese slice on each cutlet, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Roll tightly and secure with a toothpick if needed.

  3. Step 3

    Set up three shallow bowls: flour in the first, beaten egg in the second, panko in the third. Season flour with salt and pepper.

  4. Step 4

    Coat each pork roll in flour, then egg, then panko, pressing gently so crumbs stick. Place on a clean plate.

  5. Step 5

    Heat 2 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers, about 90 seconds.

  6. Step 6

    Sear pork rolls 3 minutes per side without moving until the coating turns golden brown and cheese begins to melt inside.
