**Parmesan-Crusted Pork Loin Cutlets: A Crispy, Flavorful Delight**
Pork loin cutlets, pounded thin and coated in a crispy Parmesan crust, are a delectable main course that's easy to prepare and packed with flavor. The cutlets are first seasoned with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper, then dredged in flour and eggs before being coated in a mixture of Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, and parsley. Pan-fried until golden brown and crispy on the outside, the cutlets remain tender and juicy on the inside. Serve with a side of your favorite vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
**Alternative Cooking Methods:**
* **Baked Parmesan-Crusted Pork Loin Cutlets:** For a healthier version, bake the cutlets in a preheated oven at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through.
* **Air Fryer Parmesan-Crusted Pork Loin Cutlets:** If you have an air fryer, you can also cook the cutlets in it. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F and cook the cutlets for 8-10 minutes, or until crispy and cooked through.
* **Grilled Parmesan-Crusted Pork Loin Cutlets:** To add a smoky flavor, grill the cutlets over medium heat for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
**Additional Tips:**
* For a thicker crust, double-coat the cutlets in the Parmesan mixture.
* Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor.
* If you don't have bread crumbs, you can use crushed crackers or cornflakes instead.
* Serve the cutlets with a lemon wedge or a dollop of sour cream for extra flavor.

PORK-CUTLET PARMESAN
You've enjoyed it with veal; you've loved it with chicken. It's time to meet... pork parm. The base is tenderloin, sliced into medallions and pounded thin so it cooks in a flash. A triple-dip into flour, then egg, then panko, makes a coating that stays crisp even after it cools. Top with a spoonful or two of tomato sauce and mozzarella and broil until the cheese melts.

Steps:
- Pound pork with the flat side of a meat mallet into 1/4-inch-thick cutlets. Pat dry with paper towels; lightly season with salt and pepper. Place flour in a pie dish or a wide, shallow bowl; season with salt and pepper. Whisk eggs in a second dish. Toss breadcrumbs and oregano in a third dish; season with salt and pepper.
- Working one at a time, dredge cutlets in flour, shaking off excess, then eggs, allowing excess to drip back into dish. Press into breadcrumb mixture, flipping to fully and evenly coat. Transfer to a wire rack; let stand 10 minutes.
- Heat a scant 1/2 inch of oil in a large, heavy skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high. When it shimmers and a breadcrumb dropped in immediately rises to surface and sizzles, carefully add a few cutlets in a single layer (do not crowd skillet). Fry, flipping once, until golden brown all over and just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes total.
- Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet lined with a wire rack. Let stand until drained and crisp, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, repeat with remaining cutlets.
- Preheat broiler with a rack about 8 inches from heat element. Top cutlets evenly with Parmigiano, then tomato sauce and mozzarella. Broil just until cheese melts, 2 to 4 minutes. Top with basil and serve warm, with more tomato sauce and Parmigiano alongside.

PORK CUTLETS PARMIGIANA
This Italian-American comfort food recipe came to The Times in 1993 in one of Pierre Franey's beloved "60-Minute Gourmet" columns. His version of the classic casserole calls for slices of pork loin, a "lean, moist and versatile" option, Mr. Franey said, which are pounded thin then breaded and pan-fried until golden. A simple tomato sauce of canned crushed tomatoes, onions, garlic and oregano comes together in about five minutes, which is layered in a baking dish with the cutlets and topped with a blanket of mozzarella. The whole dish is showered with a generous sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and baked until bubbly. Mr. Franey suggested serving it with spaghetti, which seems like a great idea to us, but we might add a tangle of sautéed broccoli rabe to cut through the richness.

Steps:
- Pound each slice of pork on a flat surface with a meat pounder or a mallet to about 1/4-inch thick. (Properly pounded slices will look like veal scallopini.)
- Place the egg, water, cumin, rosemary and salt and pepper in a mixing bowl, and beat well. Place the bread crumbs on a flat dish.
- Dip the pork slices in the egg mixture to coat and then dip in the bread crumbs. Pat lightly with the flat side of a kitchen knife to help the crumbs to adhere.
- Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a saucepan and add the garlic and onions. Cook, stirring for one minute; do not brown. Add the tomatoes, oregano, salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes.
- In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and place as many cutlets as possible in one layer. When the slices are golden brown on one side, about 3 minutes, cook on the other side for 3 minutes. As the pieces are done, transfer them to a heated platter. Add more oil, if necessary, to the skillet, and continue cooking the rest of the slices in the same manner.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- In a baking dish large enough to hold the cutlets in one layer, spoon a little sauce over the bottom, add the cutlets, spoon more tomato sauce on top and cover each cutlet with mozzarella cheese. Add the remaining sauce. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the dish and bake until piping hot and cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.

Tips:
- To ensure the pork cutlets cook evenly, pound them to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
- For a crispy crust, make sure the pork cutlets are coated evenly in the breadcrumb mixture.
- Use a heavy skillet or griddle to cook the pork cutlets so that they get a nice sear.
- Do not overcrowd the skillet when cooking the pork cutlets, or they will not cook evenly.
- Cook the pork cutlets over medium heat so that they have time to cook through without burning.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork cutlets are cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the pork cutlets rest for a few minutes before serving so that the juices can redistribute.
Conclusion:
Parmesan-crusted pork loin cutlets are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork cutlets are juicy and flavorful, and the Parmesan crust adds a crispy and cheesy touch. Serve the pork cutlets with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
