Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless pork cutlets
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs (Italian seasoned)
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 2 cups Marinara sauce
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Season the pork cutlets with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 3

Set up a breading station: Place the flour in a shallow dish, whisk the eggs with water in a second shallow dish, and combine the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese in a third shallow dish.

Step 4

Dredge each pork cutlet in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the egg mixture, followed by coating it thoroughly in the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture. Set aside on a plate.

Step 5

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the breaded pork cutlets. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.

Step 6

Arrange the cooked pork cutlets in a single layer in a large oven-safe baking dish.

Step 7

Spoon marinara sauce evenly over each cutlet, ensuring they are well-covered.

Step 8

Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of the marinara sauce.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Remove the baking dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.

Step 11

Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired, before serving.

Step 12

Serve hot with a side of pasta, salad, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
