Pork Schnitzel

INGREDIENTS

• 4 boneless pork chops, pounded to 1/4-inch thickness
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil, for frying
• Lemon wedges, for serving

RECIPE

1. Preheat the oven to 200°F (95°C).
2. Place the flour in a shallow dish. In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and water. In a third shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, and paprika.
3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
4. Dredge each pork chop in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip the chops into the egg mixture, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing the crumbs onto the meat.
5. Add the pork chops to the hot skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the cooked schnitzels to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven while you cook the remaining schnitzels.
6. Serve the schnitzels hot, with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
