Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork loin chops
- 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 Avocado oil
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges, for serving
Directions
Step 1
Place the pork loin chops between two sheets of plastic wrap. Gently pound with a meat mallet until about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well.
Step 3
In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until well blended.
Step 4
Dip each pork chop into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated, then press it into the almond flour mixture, covering both sides evenly.
Step 5
Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the breaded pork chops.
Step 6
Cook the pork schnitzels for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the schnitzels from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 8
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for a zesty kick.
