Yield: 2
Ingredients: 2 (4 oz) SMCo Pork Cutlets; 2 eggs; 1/2 T salt; 1/2 T pepper; 1 cup Italian Bread Crumbs; 1 32 oz jar of Marinara ( we love Raos); 1 bag shredded mozzarella; 2 cups Cooking Oil (we like to use Avocado Oil)

This will soon be your favorite pork cutlet recipe out there. This is a twist on the original Chicken Parmesan recipe. No need to pound out chicken breasts anymore. Use SMCo pork cutlets as they are tenderized and the perfect thickness. All you need is a little red sauce and mozzarella cheese and it's time to eat. We like to make our own red sauce however, for ease and quickness, a jar from the store (Rao's is our favorite) would be perfect as well.

Ingredients

2 (4 oz) SMCo Pork Cutlets
2 eggs
1/2 T salt
1/2 T pepper
1 cup Italian Bread Crumbs
1 32 oz jar of Marinara ( we love Raos)
1 bag shredded mozzarella
2 cups Cooking Oil (we like to use Avocado Oil)

Directions

Season cutlets with salt and pepper. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs.
Dip the cutlets in Seasoned Bread Crumbs, then the egg mixture, coating thoroughly, and then back in the bread crumbs. Be sure that both sides are covered well. Set aside, or refrigerate covered by a piece of waxed paper or plastic wrap.
Heat the oil in a heavy frying pan until hot. Add the cutlet, lower the heat slightly and cook for about 2 minutes. Turn with spatula, and brown the other side. Remove cutlets from pan and let drain on paper towel or brown paper bag.
In a cast iron or oven proof pan, coat the bottom of the pan with 1/2 of the marinara. Place the cutlets on the sauce and cover top of the cutlet with the remaining marinara and mozzarella cheese.
Place in a 350 degree oven for 25-30 minutes. The flesh of the cutlet should be white when cooked. Serve with a side of pasta.
