olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is more affordable and has a neutral flavor.

Pound the pork loin to an even thickness.

Season both sides of the pork with salt and black pepper.

Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with bread crumbs mixed with grated pecorino romano cheese.

Dredge each pork cutlet in flour, shaking off excess.

Dip the floured cutlet into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off.

Coat the cutlet in the bread crumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Add the breaded cutlets to the skillet in batches, cooking until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Transfer cooked cutlets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the cutlets before serving.

Garnish with chopped parsley.
