Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless pork chops
• 1 cup almond flour
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the pork chops. If the chops are thick, place them between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound gently with a meat mallet to about 1/2-inch thickness.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, mix together almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Set aside.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until smooth.

Step 4

Set up a breading station by lining up the pork chops, egg mixture, and almond flour mixture.

Step 5

Dip each pork chop into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.

Step 6

Press each pork chop into the almond flour mixture, ensuring an even coating on both sides. Gently shake off excess.

Step 7

In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and starts to bubble.

Step 8

Carefully place the coated pork chops in the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.

Step 9

Once cooked, transfer the Schweineschnitzel to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

Step 10

Serve immediately with a side of lemon wedges, a fresh garden salad, or a low-carb vegetable side.
