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.
