CRISPY PORK CUTLETS RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss panko with oil. Bake, tossing once, until golden brown, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl. Reduce oven temperature to 400 degrees.
• Meanwhile, one at a time, place chops between 2 large pieces of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet or the bottom of a small heavy pan, pound to make 1/4-inch-thick cutlets.
• Dividing evenly, coat pork with mustard; season with salt and pepper. One at a time, dip cutlets into panko, pressing firmly to adhere.
• Place a rack on a rimmed baking sheet; place pork on rack, and bake, without turning, until opaque throughout, 10 to 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Line a cutting board with plastic wrap and place 1 pork chop on top. Cover with another piece of plastic wrap. Pound the meat with a meat mallet or rolling pin, until 1/4" to 1/8" thick. Transfer the meat to a plate, and repeat with the remaining pork chops, reusing the plastic wrap if possible. Take out 3 shallow bowls or baking dishes. Place the flour in 1 dish; the egg, garlic powder, and salt in another; and the panko in the last dish. Beat the egg with a fork until well combined. In a large, high-sided skillet over medium-high heat, heat about ¼" of vegetable oil. Meanwhile, working with 1 cutlet at a time, coat the pork in flour, then in egg, and finally in the panko. Use your fingers to press the cutlet into the breadcrumbs. Once the oil is shimmering, transfer 1 cutlet into the hot oil and fry for about 2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Reduce the heat if the cutlets are browning too quickly or unevenly. Transfer the cutlet to a plate lined with paper towels. Adding more oil as necessary, continuing frying all the cutlets. Serve with lemon wedges.
