Pork Milanes


1 cup panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
1/2 cup finely grated parmesan
2 large eggs
6 boneless pork loin chops, pounded thin to 1/3 inch-thick (1 1/2 pounds total)
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup plus 3 Tbs. olive oil
6 lemon wedges

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.

Coarsely crush the panko into a large shallow bowl. Stir the cheese into the panko. Lightly beat the eggs in another large shallow bowl. Sprinkle the pork generously with salt and pepper. Dip the pork, 1 piece at a time, in the egg, allowing the excess to drip off, then dredge the pork in the crumb mixture, patting to coat completely. Place the pork on a small baking sheet.

Heat 1/4 cup of oil in a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the pork to the hot oil and cook until golden brown and just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to paper towels to drain, then transfer them to a clean baking sheet and keep them warm in the oven. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of oil to the skillet and fry the remaining pork.

Transfer the pork to plates and serve with lemon wedges.


These were great!  And the kids loved them too.  I literally cooked for three minutes on each side.  Put them in, set the timer, turned them and set it again.  Make sure you squeeze the lemon on them!

We had these for dinner tonight. They were really good! Especially with the lemon. I tenderized my pork chops first. They turned out like a german schnitzel. You could cut them with a fork.
