Photo: Wiener Schnitzel Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds pork scallops, divided by 4 and pounded thin as for scaloppini
- 1/2 cup flour
- 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup fine dry bread crumbs
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons sunflower or canola oil
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 lemon
Directions
Place flour, eggs, and bread crumbs in 3 individual shallow dishes. Season cutlets with salt and pepper. Dredge in flour, shake of excess, dredge through egg, and last in bread crumbs.
Heat the oil in large skillet, add butter, and heat until foam subsides. Add 1 Schnitzel at a time to pan, brown from both sides about 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to plate lined with paper towels and place in 250 degree F oven to keep warm. Repeat with other Schnitzel. Serve with lemon wedges.
Variation:
Wiener Schnitzel a la Holstein:
- 4 eggs
- 4 to 8 anchovies
- 8 teaspoons capers, if desired
Fry eggs and top each cutlet with an egg. Top with 1or 2 anchovy fillets and sprinkle with capers, to taste.

What a taste time trip! Back to my travels in Austria in my youth! I'm SO glad to find a recipe that uses something OTHER than veal, given how veal calves are mistreated. I haven't had that meat in ages. And I WILL NOT until they abide by humanitarian rules.
As for anyone who WANTS to have veal suffer so they can eat it, there are tons of recipes besides this excellent one.
This was simple, straightforward and a joy to make and eat. And yes, I left the egg off, but I do know that in areas of Germany, eggs and beef are often combined in dishes. If anyone knows the name of a rounded one, made of beef, with a hard-boiled egg inside (with gravy PLEASE post it! I lived off those for almost a whole summer (that and something called "Schinkenkaese toast">

While Schnitzel may technically not have eggs on it, Schnitzel a la Holstein definitely does. I have had this many times in Germany and Switzerland.

This is a delicious pork schnitzel recipe...our daughter's favorite. She lived in Halle, Germany and when we visited her we tried scnitzel in many restaurants and it was always served with eggs.
