Ingredients
- 8 small pork schnitzel or 4 larger ones, Note 1
- fine sea salt and pepper
- 2 eggs
- ⅔ cup dried breadcrumbs or more if necessary, Note 2
- ¼ cup parmesan freshly grated, Note 3
- 3-4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F/ 220°C.
- Tenderize schnitzel: Dry the schnitzels with kitchen paper. Tenderize slightly between two sheets of plastic foil using a meat mallet or a small but heavy saucepan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and set aside.8 small pork schnitzel +fine sea salt and pepper
- Breading station: Lightly beat the eggs in a shallow bowl. Mix the breadcrumbs and the Parmesan in another large shallow bowl. 2 eggs + ⅔ cup dried breadcrumbs/ 70 g + ¼ cup Parmesan/ 30 g
- Mix the olive oil and the sweet paprika powder in a small bowl.3-4 tablespoons olive oil + 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
- Line a baking tray with baking paper. Lightly brush the baking paper with some of the oil mixture.
- Bread schnitzels: Dip the schnitzels in the beaten eggs, then coat them with the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture.
- Brush: Place them on the baking tray and brush them lightly with the oil mixture as well. Use only as much oil as to lightly coat the schnitzel, don't use it all just because it's there.
- Bake for about 10 minutes, turn the schnitzels and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes. Check after a total time of 15 minutes already; the cooking time greatly depends on your oven.
- Cooking time: If your schnitzels are larger, check after the indicated cooking time is over and increase the cooking time only slightly, if necessary. As larger schnitzels will be just as thin as smaller schnitzels, the cooking time will not change dramatically.
Notes
- Schnitzel size: About 50 – 70 g/ 1.7 – 2.4 oz each – small to serve in a burger bun, for instance. The schnitzels can be larger (about 100 – 150 g/ 3.5 – 5.3 oz), and the baking time will not change drastically, as they all should be thin.
- The Parmesan is optional but recommendable.
- Breadcrumbs: Regular breadcrumbs or panko breadcrumbs.
- The nutrition is calculated for pork schnitzel.
