Crispy breaded porc Schnitzel
Turn a classic German favorite into a crispy, golden delight! Our Schnitzel recipe featuring Old World Spice Co. seasoning makes it easy to prepare authentic Vienna-style schnitzel at home. Perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, it is a true taste of German tradition.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless pork chops, thinly sliced
- 1-2 tsp of Old World Spice Co. Schnitzel Seasoning
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 3–4 fl oz oil for frying (canola or sunflower oil)
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Prepare: Place the pork chops between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them until about ¼ inch thick.
- Season: Season both sides of the pork evenly with Schnitzel Seasoning. Season the meat gently to taste.
- Set up: Prepare three shallow dishes. Fill the first with flour, the second with beaten eggs, and the third with breadcrumbs.
- Bread: Coat each schnitzel first in flour, then dip into the beaten egg, and finally coat thoroughly with breadcrumbs. Do not press the breadcrumbs too firmly onto the meat.
- Fry: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the schnitzel for about 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
- Drain: Remove the schnitzel and place briefly on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.

Turn your grilled food into a culinary delight! Our marinade recipes featuring Old World Spice Co. spice blends are a breeze to prepare and give meat, fish, and vegetables an irresistible flavor. Make the most of your next barbecue!
