Steps:
- Pound the pork chops with a spiked meat mallet until 1/4 inch thick; set aside. In a large bowl, combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley flakes, salt, and pepper. Press the pork into the crumbs to bread thoroughly; set aside.
- Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour in the wine and sliced mushrooms. Allow to simmer and cook until the mushrooms have softened, about 10 minutes. Stir together the cornstarch and water, then add to the mushroom sauce. Simmer until the sauce has thickened, then remove from the heat and set aside.
- Meanwhile, heat a few tablespoons of olive oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the pork cutlets a few at a time until golden brown and cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Serve with reserved mushroom sauce.

CHICKEN SCHNITZEL WITH ANCHOVY-CHIVE BUTTER SAUCE
Steps:
- Mix panko and paprika in shallow dish. Beat egg to blend in small dish. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper and dip into egg, then panko, coating completely.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned, crisp, and cooked through, turning once, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to platter. Add remaining butter and anchovies with capers to skillet. Cook over medium heat until mixture turns brown, mashing anchovies to blend into butter, about 1 minute. Add wine; simmer until slightly reduced, stirring occasionally, about 2 minutes. Stir in 1 1/2 tablespoons chives.
- Spoon sauce over chicken and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 tablespoon chives. Serve with lemon wedges.
WIENER SCHNITZEL WITH LEMON-LIME BROWN BUTTER, PAPRIKA AND FRIED EGGS
Steps:
- Add the pretzels, challah and brioche to a food processor and pulse until very fine breadcrumbs form. Season the veal with salt and pepper. Put the flour and breadcrumbs in separate shallow bowls. Whisk together 2 of the eggs in a third bowl. Dip each cutlet in the flour, then the eggs and finally the breadcrumbs, making sure both sides are completely coated.
- Heat the oil in a large cast-iron pan and sear the veal, one or two at a time, until they begin to brown around the edges, around 2 minutes. Flip and add a generous tablespoon of butter per veal cutlet. When the butter begins to brown, add some of the caper berries, anchovies and parsley. Cook the meat until it's almost completely done and crispy on the outside. Remove the pan from the flame and sprinkle with the lime and lemon juice. This will stop the cooking of the meat.
- In a nonstick pan, fry the eggs sunny-side up and place one on top of each schnitzel. Sprinkle the paprika through a sieve on each before serving.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality veal or pork cutlets for the best results.
- Pound the cutlets thin to ensure even cooking.
- Use a light touch when coating the cutlets in flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs to avoid a heavy crust.
- Fry the cutlets in batches to prevent overcrowding and ensure even browning.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the cutlets are cooked through.
- Serve the schnitzel immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
