Chops in Parmesan

80 minutes

Parmesan schnitzels are an exquisite dish of European cuisine inspired by Italian traditions. Tender pork, thinly beaten and infused with the aroma of vinegar and Italian herbs, gains a crispy golden crust thanks to the coating of grated Parmesan and flour. The egg adds softness to the dish, while frying in a hot pan gives it an appetizing texture. The finished schnitzels are placed on a napkin to remove excess fat and sprinkled with cheese to enhance the creamy-nutty flavor notes. This recipe is a perfect combination of simplicity in preparation and refined taste. It is great for a cozy family dinner or a festive table setting. Serve with a light salad or potatoes while enjoying the rich flavor nuances.
