Steps:
- 1. Place a wire cooling rack on a rimmed baking sheet and place in the oven; preheat to 450º.
- 2. Place pork chops on a large cutting board. Cover with plastic wrap and pound with the smooth side of a meat mallet to about 1/4" thickness. Sprinkle with pepper and salt. Place flour, egg and pretzels in three separate shallow dishes. Dredge the cutlets in flour, shaking off excess, then dip in egg, letting excess drip off, then press into pretzels. Generously coat one side of the cutlets with cooking spray.
- 3. Remove the heated pan from the oven. Put the cutlets, sprayed-side down, on the rack. Coat the second side generously with cooking spray. Bake until golden brown, 8 to 12 minutes.
- 4. Combine the yogurt and mustard in a small bowl. Serve with the pork.

Steps:
- PREPARE THE BREADING: Stir the pretzel crumbs, flour, and 1 teaspoon salt together in a 9 by 13-inch baking dish. Whisk the eggs and mustard in a medium bowl.
- MAKE A SAUCE: Combine the mayonnaise, chopped pickles, horseradish, and hot sauce in a small bowl.
- BREAD THE PORK: Cut the pork tenderloin crosswise into 12 even pieces about 3/4 inch thick. Lay the pieces between sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a mallet until flattened into rounds roughly 2 1/2 inches in diameter and 1/4 inch thick. Press both sides of the pork into the pretzel flour, then dip each piece into the beaten eggs and again in the pretzel flour, until generously coated.
- FRY THE PORK: Heat 1/4 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering (about 375 degrees F). Line a plate with paper towels. Shallow-fry half of the pork cutlets until golden brown on each side, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to the prepared plate to drain. Season generously with salt. Repeat with the remaining cutlets.
- SERVE: Toast the rolls if desired and put a pork cutlet on each roll. Top each piece of pork with 1 rounded teaspoon sauce, 2 pickle slices, and a piece of lettuce.
PRETZEL-CRUSTED PORK CHOPS WITH ORANGE-MUSTARD SAUCE
from the September 2006 Bon Appetit magazine. Crushed pretzels make a better-than-breadcrumb crust. This tastes great with or without the balsamic reduction, but if you choose to use the reduction please use the best balsamic vinegar you can, because since it is the only ingredient in the reduction, the flavor is dependent on the quality of the balsamic. I think these chops are just incredible, and the rest of my family enjoyed them too.

PRETZEL CRUSTED PORK CHOPS WITH ORANGE MUSTARD SAUCE
This recipe was adapted from one that I found in Bon Apetit magazine. If you buy candied orange peel instead of making your own it will go a lot faster. Candied orange peel is really not hard to make; just more time consuming. This recipe would be great for entertaining because most of the components can be made beforehand.

Tips:
- Choose the right pork cutlets. Look for cutlets that are about 1/2-inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that the cutlets are juicy and flavorful.
- Pound the pork cutlets thin. This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
- Use a flavorful breading. The pretzel crust in this recipe is a great option, but you could also use breadcrumbs, flour, or even cornmeal.
- Cook the pork cutlets over medium heat. This will help prevent them from burning.
- Serve the pork cutlets with a flavorful sauce. The mustard sauce in this recipe is a great option, but you could also use a barbecue sauce, a honey mustard sauce, or even a simple pan sauce.
