Chef's Notes

Breaded pork cutlets can get soggy while waiting for the pan to heat. Once breaded, place them on a wire rack that's resting over a baking sheet.

Used wheat instead of white because it's what I had on hand -- otherwise made as directed. A good, basic breaded-pork chop recipe.

I loved this recipe! I toasted the bread before putting it in the food processor and I had to cook the pork cutlets a little longer than listed here, but one of my cutlets was 1/2 inch thick instead of 1/4 inch. Served with McCormick Spicy Nutmeg Carrots and applesauce. Lovely!

Will need to put pork in over for 10-15 minutes at 400 degrees if not not done in the middle. If you continue frying, the breading will burn. Try using Planko ready made and seasoned breadcrumbs.

Though the pork is fine I think it's important to note that you SHOULD NOT use cooking spray in a non-stick pan. The chemicals in cooking spray deteriorate non-stick surfaces.

This was very good. Made to recipe. Crumbed some stale rosemary bread & pounded chops to uniform thickness. Some folks have mentioned their pork was too salty -- maybe they used table salt instead of kosher? Took longer to cook but browned nicely. Served with garlic mashed potato and CL's recommended turnip greens.
