Loved this. I served with poppy seed spaetzle fried in butter and steamed brocoli. Made with boneless porkchops which I beat with a mallet. Added a lot more pepper, black and white and some garlic. Otherwise, same as recipe. Would definitely make again.
When I was in Georgia, I went to a german restaurant and had jaeger schnitzel,but was veal. They fried the meat so it had a delicious crispy crust and then put a creamy mushroom sauce over it last minute and served with spaetzle. Boy, would I love to have that recipe, too.

This receipe is fantastic! It took me more like 60 minutes total to fix using thin bone-in porkchops, not including the time it took me to make homemade spaetzle.
I couldn't find any fresh thyme today, so I substituted a sprig of fresh rosemary instead. I also used portabello & porcini mushrooms. I also like my gravy a bit on the thicker side so I added 1 tablespoon of wet cornstarch.
My wife who is not a big mushroom eater, said it was absolutely wonderful, nice and earthy but not overly mushroom earthy. Even my kids ate the sauce without complaining.
I used the FN spaetle receipe, adding 1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper and 1/4 tsp of white pepper, and instead of water, I use chicken stock. After I boil them, then I fry them in fresh garlic and butter until golden. My kids go ape over these, and they were absolutely wonderful with the Jager sauce.
Yum!!!!

I made the recipe with pork chops and omitted the bacon to lower the fat content. It came out excellent. I served it with Spaetzle and braised red cabbage. The whole dinner companion loved it. I highly recommend it.
I ate a Jaegerschnitzel in some German inn in Catskills a few years ago, and the taste stayed with me since then. I was looking for a good recipe for quite a while, and this one comes quite close to the culinary heaven experience.
