Instructions

  1. 1. Pat the 400 g pork cutlets dry with paper towels. Never wash them, or the breading will get soggy.
  2. 2. Cut the cutlets into bite-sized strips, about 3 cm thick. This helps them cook evenly.
  3. 3. Put the 100 g flour in a shallow dish. Sprinkle in 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper, and 1 tsp paprika. Mix the spices well into the flour.
  4. 4. Crack the 2 eggs into a second dish. Whisk them vigorously with a fork until they are smooth.
  5. 5. Pour the 150 g breadcrumbs into a third dish. Have it ready before you touch the meat.
  6. 6. Dip the meat strips one by one in the seasoned flour mixture. Shake off any excess flour firmly.
  7. 7. Dip the floured strips completely into the egg mixture. Let them drip briefly so the breading sticks.
  8. 8. Press the wet strips firmly into the breadcrumbs. Turn them until they are completely coated.
  9. 9. Preheat the air fryer to 200 °C. This takes about 3 minutes. Air fryers need preheating for crispiness.
  10. 10. Place the breaded cutlets in the basket. Arrange them side by side, not on top of each other, for even heat.
  11. 11. Cook the cutlets at 200 °C for 10 minutes. Flip them halfway through. The surface will start to become firm and light golden brown.
  12. 12. Remove the cutlets and let them rest on a plate for 3 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.
  13. 13. Drizzle the warm cutlets with 1 tbsp lemon juice. The acidity enhances the flavor of the breading.
  14. 14. Serve the cutlets immediately. They are perfect when the breading is crispy and the meat remains juicy.
