Folded Pork Cutlets image

I thought I'd seen all there was to see when it came to pan-fried pork cutlets, but then I saw something called Katsu 'Mille-Feuille,' and I realized I hadn't seen anything yet. Okay, I'm being a little dramatic, but I really loved the unusual look and feel, as well as the internal flavoring opportunities the multi-layer technique provides. I look forward to seeing what you come up with! Served here with a salad and a squeeze of lemon on top.

Time 50m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (1 pound) pork tenderloin, trimmed
kosher salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper
4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 ounces Monterey Jack cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, or as needed
1 egg, beaten
1 cup panko bread crumbs, or as needed
olive oil for frying

Steps:

  • Cut tenderloin in half lengthwise. Place each half between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to 1/8-inch thickness.
  • Season pork with salt, pepper, and cayenne; spread a thin layer of mustard on top. Grate Monterey Jack cheese onto the pork. Sprinkle parsley on top. Fold in the pointiest end 1/3 of the way. Fold in the sides. Give pork another fold; fold remaining end on top. Flip cutlets seam-side down in the plastic wrap and lightly pound until flattened.
  • Unwrap cutlets and season again with salt, pepper, and cayenne. Dust on all sides with flour until lightly coated. Place beaten egg and bread crumbs in two shallow dishes. Dredge each cutlet in egg, then cover with bread crumbs. Let cutlets rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Heat at least 1/4 inch oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook each cutlet until crust is browned and until meat springs back when poked, 4 to 5 minutes per side.

This recipe was a waste of time. The pork cutlets were dry and the stuffing was flavorless.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could use some more seasoning.

I followed the recipe exactly and the pork cutlets turned out perfectly. They were cooked through but still moist, and the stuffing was delicious. I served them with mashed potatoes and green beans, and everyone loved them.
