Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork cutlets
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Begin by patting the pork cutlets dry with paper towels. Set aside.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Step 3
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs with the heavy cream until smooth.
Step 4
Dip each pork cutlet into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess to drip off.
Step 5
Immediately dredge the coated cutlet in the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating adheres well. Repeat for all cutlets.
Step 6
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
Step 7
Carefully place the coated pork cutlets into the hot oil. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the coating is golden brown and the pork is cooked through (the internal temperature should reach 145°F).
Step 8
Remove the cutlets from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon if desired.
