Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork loin cutlets
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
Directions
Step 1
Place each pork cutlet between two pieces of plastic wrap. Pound them to about 1/4 inch thickness using a meat mallet.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Step 3
In another shallow dish, whisk together eggs and heavy cream until fully combined.
Step 4
Dip each pork cutlet first into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, and then dredge in the almond flour mixture, pressing to adhere.
Step 5
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil and unsalted butter until melted and hot.
Step 6
Carefully place the breaded pork cutlets into the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 7
Remove the cutlets from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to remove any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve the cutlets hot with your choice of keto-friendly sides, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
