Ingredients
- 2 boneless pork chops
- ½ cup all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt plus more to season vegetables
- ½ teaspoon pepper plus more to season vegetables
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 cup finely crushed Ritz crackers
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 4 hoagie buns or sandwich buns
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tomato sliced thin
- ¼ red onion sliced thin
- lettuce
Instructions
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Line a second baking sheet with a wire rack topped with paper towels and set aside.
- Slice pork chops in half, lengthwise. Pound the pork chops to about ¼ inch thickness using a meat mallet or heavy skillet.
- Place flour into a shallow dish and mix in garlic, salt and pepper. Beat the eggs and milk in another shallow dish and the cracker crumbs into a third dish.
- Dredge pork cutlets in flour. Dip into the egg, coating both sides, and then dredge through crushed ritz crackers.
- Place on the lined baking sheet in a single layer.
- Heat vegetable oil in a heavy bottom skillet over high heat using a fry thermometer, heating to 375°.
- Fry breaded pork chops 2 at a time, turning after about 2 minutes.
- Turn and continue to cook another 2- 3 minutes or until pork reaches 145° using a digital meat thermometer.
- Remove from the oil when cooked through to the paper towel lined wire rack.
- Toast the buns, spread with mayo and top with lettuce and tomato. Season with salt and pepper. Slice the pork in half lengthwise if using hoagie buns and place onto the buns.
Notes
Storage: Store leftover pork chops in a zip top bag or airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
Reheat: Place a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet with pork chops on the wire rack. Bake at 350° for about 6- 8 minutes or until heated through.
- Use spicy mayo or Dijon mustard if preferred.
- Use crispy bacon, pickles, coleslaw, or candied jalapeños for more flavor.
