🍽️ Recipe Instructions:
-
Slice the pork: Start by slicing the pork into 1/4 inch thick slices, ensuring they are of uniform thickness.
-
Tenderize the pork: Place the pork slices between sheets of waxed paper and gently pound them until they are thin. This helps to tenderize the meat and ensures even cooking.
-
Prepare the mustard mixture: In a small bowl, combine the Dijon or spicy brown mustard with the honey. Mix them well until they form a smooth and flavorful mixture.
-
Coat the pork: Using a pastry brush, generously spread the mustard mixture on both sides of each pork slice. Ensure that the pork is evenly coated for maximum flavor.
-
Prepare the egg wash: In another bowl, mix the egg substitute with water to create an egg wash. This will help the breadcrumbs adhere to the pork and create a crispy coating.
-
Coat with breadcrumbs: Dip each pork slice into the egg wash, making sure it is fully coated. Then, dredge the pork in breadcrumbs, ensuring that both sides are evenly covered for a crunchy exterior.
-
Heat the skillet: Lightly coat a heavy 12-inch skillet with cooking spray and set it over moderate heat for about 30 seconds. Add olive oil and allow it to heat up before adding the pork.
-
Cook the pork: Carefully add the coated pork slices to the skillet and cook them until they are crisp and lightly browned on both sides. This should take about 2-3 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the pork slices.
-
Garnish and serve: Once the pork cutlets are cooked to perfection, garnish them with lemon wedges for a refreshing citrus flavor. Serve them hot and enjoy the delicious combination of crispy pork and tangy mustard sauce.
-
Optional: If desired, you can make extra mustard and honey mixture to serve alongside the pork cutlets for dipping. This adds an extra layer of flavor and makes for a delightful accompaniment to the dish.
Prepare to be amazed by the incredible flavors and textures of these breaded pork cutlets with honey Dijon mustard. Perfect for a quick and easy weeknight dinner, this recipe is sure to become a family favorite. Enjoy! 🍽️👨🍳
