Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork cutlets
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Place each pork cutlet between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to about 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
Step 2
Season the pork cutlets with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 3
Set up a breading station: Place the flour in one shallow bowl, beat the eggs in another shallow bowl, and mix the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and garlic powder in a third shallow bowl.
Step 4
Brush each cutlet with Dijon mustard, ensuring an even coating on both sides.
Step 5
Dip each mustard-coated cutlet first into the flour, then into the beaten eggs, and finally into the breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to help the breadcrumbs adhere.
Step 6
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 7
Cook the cutlets in batches, about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Step 8
Transfer the cooked cutlets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the Dijon pork cutlets warm with lemon wedges on the side for an added burst of flavor.
