Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pound the pork chops or veal cutlets until they are about 1/2 inch thick. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Set up a breading station with three plates: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
Cooking Schnitzel
  1. Dredge each cutlet in flour, dip in egg, and coat with breadcrumbs.
  2. Heat butter or oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded cutlets until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and keep warm.
Making the Sauce
  1. In the same skillet, add sliced mushrooms and sauté until browned.
  2. Pour in the heavy cream, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well and let simmer until the sauce thickens slightly.
Serving
  1. Serve the cutlets topped with the creamy mushroom sauce and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. To reheat, warm them gently in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of water or broth.
