Step 1
Pound the 2 pork cutlets to 1/4 inch thickness. Set up three shallow dishes: 0.5 cup flour, 1 beaten egg, and 1 cup breadcrumbs. Dredge each cutlet in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs, pressing to coat.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Fry the breaded cutlets until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp butter and the 8 oz sliced mushrooms. Cook over medium-high, stirring, until mushrooms are browned and tender, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Pour in 0.5 cup heavy cream and 0.25 cup water. Stir, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer until sauce thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 5
Return the cutlets to the skillet, spooning sauce over them. Serve hot with onion rings and coleslaw on the side.
