Instructions

Step 1: Place 4 pork loin cutlets between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet to 1/4-inch thickness.
Step 2: In a shallow bowl, mix 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
Step 3: Set up a dredging station with the seasoned flour, 2 beaten large eggs, and 1 1/2 cups plain breadcrumbs in separate shallow dishes.
Step 4: Coat each pork cutlet first in the flour mixture, then dip into the eggs, and finally press into the breadcrumbs until evenly coated.
Step 5: Heat 1/2 cup vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the cutlets for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 6: Remove cutlets and keep warm. In the same skillet, reduce heat to low and stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream and 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard. Cook for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 7: Spoon the mustard cream sauce over the schnitzels and garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley before serving.
