Step 1
Place pork cutlets between plastic wrap and pound gently with a meat mallet to an even 0.25-inch thickness.
Step 2
Set up three shallow bowls with flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second, and panko mixed with salt and pepper in the third.
Step 3
Coat each pork cutlet in flour, shake off excess, dip in egg, then press into panko mixture on both sides. Place on a plate.
Step 4
Heat olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Step 5
Carefully place breaded pork into the hot oil and cook 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 6
Divide arugula and tomatoes between two plates. Top each with a crispy pork cutlet.
Step 7
Garnish with Parmigiano-Reggiano shaves and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
