Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless pork cutlets (schnitzel)
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 5 large Eggs
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 0.33 cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 0.5 cup Thinly sliced ham
• 0.5 cup Cooked and crumbled bacon
• 0.5 cup Grated cheese (Swiss or cheddar)
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the pork schnitzel. Place each pork cutlet between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet until thin (about 1/4 inch thick).

Step 2

Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour mixed with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, the second with 2 beaten eggs, and the third with breadcrumbs.

Step 3

Coat each cutlet in the flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally press into the breadcrumbs until evenly coated. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the breaded cutlets for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden and crispy. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 5

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together 2 eggs, 1/3 cup milk, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and a pinch of salt. Lightly grease a non-stick skillet with butter and pour in the egg mixture.

Step 6

Cook the Eierkuchen (pancake) over medium-low heat until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.

Step 7

To prepare the omelet, whisk the remaining egg and mix in the ham, bacon, grated cheese, and parsley (if using).

Step 8

In the same skillet used for the Eierkuchen, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat and pour in the omelet mixture. Cook until the edges begin to set, then carefully fold the omelet in half and cook another 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

Step 9

To assemble, place one schnitzel cutlet on a plate, top with half of the Eierkuchen, and place the ham-bacon omelet on top. Repeat for the second serving.

Step 10

Garnish with additional parsley, if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy the rich, savory fusion of flavors!
