Blue Cheese Crusted Schnitzel
Ingredients
2 inches pork chops, beaten within 1/8 of their life
2 cups bread crumbs
1 cup corn starch
2 tablespoons smoked paprika (once again, I use Victoria Gourmet)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Creamy (not crumbled) blue cheese to taste (I used Boar's Head)
Olive oil for frying
Preparation
1
In a medium bowl, mix the bread crumbs, paprika, and corn starch thoroughly
2
Add a generous amount of blue cheese to the mixture and work it in with your hands - save some for the topping!
3
Trim the fat off the chops, and cut slits into the sides of the pork to prevent curling - you don't have to go crazy, just a couple on each side
4
Throw the chops into the bread crumb mixture and coat thoroughly
5
Drizzle the melted butter over the chops, then stick in the fridge and let sit for 20-30 minutes to marinade the chicken and let the mixture set firmly on the meat
6
Heat about a 1/2" of oil in a deep skillet until it bubbles when flicked with water
7
Using a pair of tongs, add the coated meat to the oil
8
Part of the key to a good pan fry is sprinkling more of the coating to the pan while cooking - sprinkle a couple table spoons of the remaining mixture over the meat and into the oil
9
Flipping occasionally, cook until both sides of browned
10
Drain on a paper towel, and quickly add a dollop of blue cheese to the top of the schnitzel
