Ingredients
  

For the Schnitzel
  • 4 pieces boneless pork chops or veal cutlets
  • to taste Salt and pepper for seasoning
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 pieces eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 4 tablespoons butter or oil for frying
For the Mushroom Sauce
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Garnish
  • to taste Fresh parsley for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season the pork chops or veal cutlets with salt and pepper.
  2. Dredge each cutlet in flour, then dip in beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
Cooking
  1. Heat butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Fry the breaded cutlets until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and keep warm.
  3. In the same skillet, add sliced mushrooms and sauté until they’re soft.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and garlic powder. Allow the sauce to simmer until it thickens slightly.
Serving
  1. Serve the fried cutlets topped with the creamy mushroom sauce and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

Make sure the oil is hot before adding the cutlets to get a nice crispy coating. You can use chicken breasts instead of pork or veal for a lighter option. For extra flavor, try adding fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary to the mushroom sauce.
