Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork cutlets
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup almond milk
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Season the pork cutlets with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika on both sides.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
Step 3
In another shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and almond milk until combined.
Step 4
Dip each pork cutlet into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
Step 5
Dredge the pork cutlet in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs to the meat. Repeat with each cutlet.
Step 6
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Step 7
Add the breaded pork cutlets to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Step 8
Transfer the cooked cutlets to a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
Step 9
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
