Ingredients
- 4 pork loin chops
- 1 cup flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup oil for frying
- 1/2 cup Maggi apple sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients. Lay out the pork loin chops, flour, eggs, breadcrumbs, oil, Maggi apple sauce, salt, and pepper.
- Place the pork loin chops between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to gently pound the chops to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch. This will help them cook evenly and become tender.
- Season both sides of the pork chops generously with salt and pepper. This enhances the flavor of the meat.
- Set up a breading station: In one shallow dish, place the flour. In a second dish, beat the eggs until well combined. In a third dish, place the breadcrumbs.
- Coat each pork chop in flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess egg to drip off. Finally, coat the chop in breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere. Repeat for all chops.
- In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. You want enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan but not so much that the chops are submerged.
- Once the oil is hot (you can test it by dropping a small piece of breadcrumb in; it should sizzle), carefully add the breaded pork chops to the skillet. Avoid overcrowding the pan; you may need to cook them in batches.
- Fry the pork schnitzels for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Use tongs to flip them gently to avoid breaking the crust.
- Once cooked, transfer the schnitzels to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. This will help keep them crispy.
- While the schnitzels are resting, warm the Maggi apple sauce in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir occasionally until heated through.
- To serve, plate the pork schnitzels and drizzle or serve the warm Maggi apple sauce on the side. Enjoy your delicious Pork Schnitzel with Maggi Apple Sauce!
Tips
- Temperature is Key: Ensure your oil is at the right heat (around 350°F) before frying. Too cool, and your schnitzel will be greasy; too hot, and the outside will burn before the inside cooks.
- Meat Preparation Matters: Pound the pork chops evenly to ensure consistent cooking and a tender texture. Use plastic wrap or parchment paper to prevent meat splatter.
- Breading Technique: Create a smooth breading process by using one hand for dry ingredients (flour, breadcrumbs) and the other for wet (eggs) to keep your hands clean and prevent clumping.
- Don't Overcrowd the Pan: Fry schnitzels in batches to maintain oil temperature and ensure each piece gets perfectly golden and crisp.
- Drain Excess Oil: Always let your schnitzels rest on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil and maintain that coveted crispy exterior.
- Sauce Serving Tip: Warm the Maggi apple sauce gently and serve it on the side or drizzled over the schnitzel for the perfect flavor balance.
