Breaded pork cutlet is one of the best-known dishes in Hungarian cuisine. A true comfort food that offers memorable flavors for everyone. The pork cutlets are gently pounded, then breaded and fried in hot oil until golden brown. The dish is simple but great - crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and the delicious meat harmonizes perfectly with the crispy breading. Breaded pork cutlet is most often served with mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables or even a fresh salad.
Breaded pork cutlet is not only an essential part of family lunches, but can also be found on the menu of many restaurants. A true Hungarian dish that is dear to every generation.
Slice the pork loin into cutlets about 1 cm thick. Gently pound each cutlet to tenderize.
Season the pork cutlets on both sides with salt and pepper.
Prepare the breading station: Place flour in one shallow dish, beaten eggs in another, and breadcrumbs in a third.
Dredge each pork cutlet in flour, then dip it in the beaten eggs, and finally coat it thoroughly with breadcrumbs.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Fry the breaded pork cutlets on both sides until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Transfer the cooked cutlets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve immediately with a fresh salad and your favorite side dish, such as mashed potatoes or french fries.
