Ingredients

  • 4 Boneless pork chops
  • 1 cup Almond flour
  • 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 Large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
  • 3 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Butter

Directions

Step 1

Place the boneless pork chops between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them with a meat mallet to about 1/4-inch thickness.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until well combined.

Step 3

In another bowl, mix the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

Step 4

Dip each pork chop in the egg mixture, ensuring it's completely coated, then dredge it in the almond flour mixture, pressing firmly to ensure it adheres evenly.

Step 5

Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and hot, carefully add the coated pork chops to the skillet.

Step 6

Cook the schnitzels for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and fully cooked through.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked schnitzels to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil before serving.

Step 8

Serve the schnitzels immediately with a wedge of lemon (optional) or alongside a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
