Pork Schnitzel with Dijon Gravy – a delightful twist on a classic

Ingredients:

4 boneless pork chops (about 1/2 inch thick)
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 cup breadcrumbs
Salt and pepper to taste
Oil for frying

For the Dijon Gravy:
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Prepare the Pork Chops:
Begin by tenderizing the pork chops with a meat mallet until they are about 1/4 inch thick. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

Set Up a Breading Station:
In three shallow dishes, place the flour in the first, beat the eggs with the Dijon mustard in the second, and put the breadcrumbs in the third.

Coat the Pork Chops:
Dredge each pork chop in flour, shaking off excess. Dip into the egg mixture, ensuring they are well coated, then press into the breadcrumbs to form a crispy coating.

Fry the Pork Schnitzel:
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded pork chops. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Make the Dijon Gravy:
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute. Gradually add the chicken broth, stirring continuously until the gravy thickens. Stir in the Dijon mustard and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve:
Serve the crispy Pork Schnitzel topped with the creamy Dijon gravy. Pair with your favorite sides for a complete meal!
