Pork Schnitzel with Lemon Thyme Cream Sauce

Pork Schnitzel:

• 1.  Line a cutting board with plastic wrap, place cutlets in a single layer on cutting board and cover with plastic wrap (this prevents splatter)

• 2.  Pound cutlets with a meat mallet or the back of a heavy saucepan, until ¼-inch to 1/8-inch thick, Season with 2 teaspoons MAGGI® Season Up All Purpose and ½ teaspoon black pepper.

• 3.  Set up three bowls. In the first combine ½ cup flour, 3 teaspoons MAGGI® Season Up All Purpose, 1 teaspoon black pepper and ½ teaspoon paprika. In the second, use a fork to beat the eggs. In the third bowl, add panko crumbs.

• 4.  Dredge both sides of each pounded cutlet in seasoned flour then dip in beaten egg letting excess egg drip back into the bowl before breading in panko crumbs. Repeat with remaining cutlets.

• 5.  Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Once oil is hot, add breaded cutlets and fry for 4-5 minutes per side or until cooked through. Reduce heat if cutlets are browning too quickly.

• 6.  Place fried pork onto a paper towel lined plate. Set Aside.
