Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless pork loin chops
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • salt and pepper
  • oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • Place the pork loin between 2 pieces of plastic food wrap and pound until they are about 1/4 inch thick. Remove the plastic wrap. Season with salt and pepper.
  • In 3 separate, shallow bowls or containers wide enough to dip the schnitzel place the following: in one bowl place the egg and Dijon mustard and whisk together. In a second bowl, place the flour. In the third bowl place the breadcrumbs.
  • Fill your pan with about 1/2 inch-3/4 inch of oil. Heat oil.
  • Once oil is heated, dip the pork loin into the bowl of flour first. Then into the egg mixture and finally into the breadcrumbs.
  • Immediately place into the hot oil and fry on each side for about 3 minutes or until they turn a nice golden-brown and are cooked through. You will have to cook these in batches. Do not dip and coat the pork until you are ready to cook them. You do not want them to sit around in the coating, getting soggy.
