Pork With Parmesan Coating Schnitzel image

Lightly flavoured with lemon, oregano and parmesan, a nice blend of flavours. The secret step to these is the chilling for at least 20mins before cooking. This helps the crumbs to dry out a little resulting in a crispy finish that has stuck to the meat. I sometimes cook these in a single layer in a shallow baking dish on the lower rack of my oven, turning them once. (It's like using the baking dish as a large frying pan so that they can be cooked all at the same time.)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 pork schnitzels
1/4 cup dry breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese (finely grated)
1 tablespoon parsley (finely chopped)
2 eggs (lightly beaten)
1 cup dried breadcrumbs
oil (for frying) or butter (for frying)
4 lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Combine the first measure of breadcrumbs, oregano, parsley and parmesan in a shallow dish and mix well.
  • In another shallow dish place the beaten eggs.
  • In a third shallow dish put the second measure of breadcrumbs.
  • Coat the schnitzels both sides with the plain breadcrumbs.
  • Dip into the beaten egg and then coat with the herb and cheese breadcrumb mix.
  • Lay the coated schnitzels on a flat tray or plate in a single layer and chill in the refrigerator for at least 20mins. Do not skip this step!
