Ingredients

• 4 pieces Pork chops (boneless, thin-cut)
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (ground)
• 2 large Eggs
• 1.5 cups Breadcrumbs
• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 cups White or cremini mushrooms (sliced)
• 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 cup Beef broth
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Place the pork chops between two sheets of plastic wrap. Pound each chop to about 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet.

Step 2

Prepare a dredging station with three shallow bowls: one with flour mixed with salt and pepper, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Dredge each pork chop in the flour mixture, then dip in the eggs, and finally coat in breadcrumbs. Shake off any excess.

Step 5

Fry the breaded pork chops in the skillet for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil and keep warm.

Step 6

In the same skillet, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the sliced mushrooms and chopped onion. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned and the onions soften.

Step 7

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 8

Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

Step 9

Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Simmer the sauce for 3-5 minutes, or until it thickens slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

Step 10

Place the cooked pork chops on serving plates and spoon the mushroom gravy generously over them.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley (optional) and serve immediately. Enjoy your Jaeger Schnitzel!
