- Pound your pork until it is in very thin pieces. At your workstation dip individual slices of pork into the flour until it is lightly coated. Next coat in the egg mixture and lastly in breadcrumbs.
- Place in your skillet. Repeat the process until all of your pieces are golden brown and cooked, 2-3 minutes per side.
