This butter schnitzel is incredible! I have been to Germany, and during my travels, a good friend of mine made this for me. I have duplicated and improved upon his recipe.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • 12 boneless pork loin chops, 3/4 inch thick

  • 2 cups bread crumbs

  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper

  • ½ pound butter

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 cup dry white wine (Optional)

  • 1 pound mushrooms, sliced

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

  • 2 tablespoons water

  • olive oil as needed

Directions

  1. Pound pork chops with a spiked meat mallet until 1/4-inch thick; set aside. In a large bowl, combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley flakes, salt, and pepper. Press pork into crumbs to bread thoroughly; set aside.

  2. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour in wine and sliced mushrooms. Allow to simmer and cook until mushrooms have softened, about 10 minutes. Stir together cornstarch and water, then add to mushroom sauce. Simmer until sauce has thickened, then remove from the heat and set aside.

  3. Meanwhile, heat a few tablespoons of olive oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the pork cutlets a few at a time until golden brown and cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Serve with reserved mushroom sauce.
