Breaded Pork with Garlic Sour Cream and Cheese

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses
One of the most popular 'over-the-top' dishes in Hungarian restaurants: schnitzel, but richer. While the original 'Mátra' style uses a potato-batter coating, this home-style version uses a simpler breaded cutlet topped with the essential crown of garlic sour cream and cheese. A true energy bomb!

Instructions

1 ✓

Pound the pork slices thin, then season with salt and pepper on both sides.

Tip: Pounding breaks down muscle fibers, making the meat tender and ensuring it cooks quickly.
2 ✓

Set up a breading station: 1. Flour, 2. Beaten eggs (with a pinch of salt), 3. Breadcrumbs.

Tip: Beat the eggs well to avoid stringy egg whites.
3 ✓

Dredge the meat in flour (shake off excess), dip in egg, then coat in crumbs. Press the crumbs on slightly.

Tip: The flour acts as a glue between the meat and the egg.
4 ✓

Fry in plenty of hot oil until golden brown (approx. 3-4 minutes per side). Drain on paper towels.

Tip: The oil is ready when a pinch of crumbs sizzles immediately. If the oil is cold, the breading will be greasy.
5 ✓

Crush the garlic and mix it into the sour cream (add a little salt if desired).

Tip: Let it sit for 5 minutes so the garlic flavor infuses the cream.
6 ✓

Spread the garlic sour cream thickly over the hot cutlets and sprinkle generously with grated cheese.

Tip: The heat from the meat will slightly melt the cheese.

Recipe FAQ

Why isn't the breading sticking?
If the meat was wet or not floured thoroughly before the egg wash, the coating will peel off.
Can I add the cheese during cooking?
Yes, place the fried cutlets on a baking sheet, top with cheese, and broil for a few minutes to melt it!
