Directions
- Slice the pork into ½-inch thick slices. Roll out plastic wrap onto your work surface. Place 1 slice of pork on the plastic wrap and cover with another piece of plastic wrap. Pound the pork out into a thin sheet, about ¼-inch thick.
- Meanwhile, place the flour in a large bowl and season generously with salt and pepper. Place the eggs and breadcrumbs into two separate bowls. Working with one piece of pork at a time, place it in the flour, then the egg (make sure it coats it completely!), then the breadcrumbs. Repeat with all the pieces of pork.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Working with 1 piece of pork at a time, fry it, flipping once, until golden brown, about 6 minutes. Remove from pan and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Season with salt and repeat with the remaining pieces of pork. Serve with lemon wedges.
