Steps:

• Heat oven to 275 degrees F. Place a wire rack over a foil-lined baking sheet.
• Working on a gel board and using a short round mallet, pound the pork in slow even strokes into thin cutlets, about 1/8 inch thick. If the chops are 3/4 to 1 inch, butterfly them open horizontally, almost halving the chops, then pound evenly with mallet. Season meat with salt and pepper
• In shallow dishes, arrange a breading station leading to the stove: flour, eggs whisked with Dijon mustard, breadcrumbs and panko seasoned with lemon zest, dry herbs and nutmeg.
• Heat a large frying pan over medium to medium-high heat with about 1/8 inch oil.
• Place the lettuces in a bowl. Add the celery, apple and onion with most of the blue cheese.
• Coat 2 cutlets at a time: flour, shake off excess, eggs, breadcrumbs. Brown the cutlets 2 to 3 minutes on the first side, 2 minutes on second; transfer to the baking sheet and place in the oven. Repeat.
• Dress the salad when ready to serve cutlets with lemon juice, EVOO, salt and pepper. Platter the schnitzel, top with salad and remaining blue cheese and serve with lemon wedges.
