Notes

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will last for about 2-3 days. To reheat, warm them up in a skillet over low heat to keep the cutlets crispy. You can also try using chicken or veal instead of pork, or add vegetables like spinach or bell peppers for additional nutrition and color.
