Parmesan Pork Sandwiches Recipes

PORK-CUTLET PARMESAN

Steps:

• Pound pork with the flat side of a meat mallet into 1/4-inch-thick cutlets. Pat dry with paper towels; lightly season with salt and pepper. Place flour in a pie dish or a wide, shallow bowl; season with salt and pepper. Whisk eggs in a second dish. Toss breadcrumbs and oregano in a third dish; season with salt and pepper.
• Working one at a time, dredge cutlets in flour, shaking off excess, then eggs, allowing excess to drip back into dish. Press into breadcrumb mixture, flipping to fully and evenly coat. Transfer to a wire rack; let stand 10 minutes.
• Heat a scant 1/2 inch of oil in a large, heavy skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high. When it shimmers and a breadcrumb dropped in immediately rises to surface and sizzles, carefully add a few cutlets in a single layer (do not crowd skillet). Fry, flipping once, until golden brown all over and just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes total.
• Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet lined with a wire rack. Let stand until drained and crisp, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, repeat with remaining cutlets.
• Preheat broiler with a rack about 8 inches from heat element. Top cutlets evenly with Parmigiano, then tomato sauce and mozzarella. Broil just until cheese melts, 2 to 4 minutes. Top with basil and serve warm, with more tomato sauce and Parmigiano alongside.

PORK WITH PARMESAN COATING SCHNITZEL

Steps:

• Combine the first measure of breadcrumbs, oregano, parsley and parmesan in a shallow dish and mix well.
• In another shallow dish place the beaten eggs.
• In a third shallow dish put the second measure of breadcrumbs.
• Coat the schnitzels both sides with the plain breadcrumbs.
• Dip into the beaten egg and then coat with the herb and cheese breadcrumb mix.
• Lay the coated schnitzels on a flat tray or plate in a single layer and chill in the refrigerator for at least 20mins. Do not skip this step!
• Heat the oil or butter or a mix of both in a large frying pan and cook the schnitzels for 3-5 minutes on each side, until golden and cooked through.
• Serve with a fresh lemon wedge to squeeze extra juice over if desired.
• *Note -- Prep time includes chilling time.

PANKO-BREADED PORK PARMIGIANA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Pound pork chops with a meat mallet to an even 1/4- to 3/8-inch thickness. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.
• Place flour and eggs into 2 separate shallow dishes. Combine panko bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning in a third dish.
• Dip each pork chop first into flour, shaking off the excess. Next, dip into egg mixture, letting any excess drip off. Coat chops in crumb mixture and set on a plate.
• Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet until hot. Fry chops for 2 minutes, flip, and fry an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Transfer to a baking dish and top each chop with 1/4 cup of sauce, then top with cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until sauce is warmed through and cheese is melted, 6 to 8 minutes. Top with parsley before serving.
