Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb boneless pork chops sliced
  • 5 tbsp flour
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 30 g fat see the recipe for details
  • salt
  • black pepper freshly ground

Instructions
 

  • Set up a classic breading station with three plates: one for flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for breadcrumbs. Season the flour and eggs with salt and pepper. This initial step ensures the seasonings enhance the flour and eggs rather than the meat, setting the stage for the second trick.
    Flavored eggs for breading meat
  • Prepare your meat. Pound the slices to about ¼ inch or 5-7 mm thick. Dry them off with paper towels.
    Pounded boneless pork chop
  • Gently coat each meat slice with your chosen fat. Proceed with breading in the traditional sequence: first flour, then eggs, and lastly breadcrumbs. This layer of fat is crucial, as no additional oils will be used during cooking, yet it’s essential for achieving that perfect crispy finish.
    Breading pork chops for air frying
  • Preheat your air fryer. Cook the breaded meat at 355°F (180 C) for 15 minutes, turning once halfway through and again towards the end of cooking.
  • Serve your schnitzels warm from the fryer, crisp and delightful.
