Schweineschnitzel – Fried Pork Cutlets

Schweineschnitzel – Fried Pork Cutlets are delightfully crunchy and flavorful. Serve them up with your favorite side dishes and enjoy!

What is a Schnitzel anyway? So glad you asked! After watching a cooking show that featured German cuisine and Schweineschnitzel, I decided to do a little research on this tasty looking dish. A Schnitzel (btw that word tickles me) is traditionally a piece of veal that is thinned, coated with flour, then egg, then coated with breadcrumbs and fried in oil or butter. Hence, a Schweine-schnitzel is thinly sliced pork done up all fancy in the same way.

If you’re looking to change things up for dinner, try a little German cuisine tonight!

Till next time ~ much love, Connie
