  1. To prepare the Pork Cutlets (Cotolette di Maiale), start by placing the meat slices on a cutting board and gently pound them with a meat mallet if they’re too thick. Ideally, you want the pork loin slices to be about half a centimeter (approximately 1/4 inch) thick.
  2. In a deep plate, crack the eggs, season them with a pinch of salt, and beat them quickly with a fork.
  3. Dip the meat slices first in the beaten eggs, then coat them with breadcrumbs, pressing firmly with your hands to ensure good adhesion.
  4. Heat about one centimeter (approximately 1/2 inch) of vegetable oil in a pan, then start frying the Pork Cutlets for 2 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown and crispy.
  5. Remove the Pork Cutlets from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Before serving, season with an additional pinch of salt. Finally, remember to download our App with exclusive content and fewer ads!

Tips

We recommend preparing and serving the Pan-Fried Pork Cutlets at the last moment to fully enjoy their crispy breading.

Storage

You can store the Pork Cutlets in the refrigerator for a couple of days, or freeze them after breading to have them ready when needed. However, be careful not to use previously thawed meat!
