Keto Schnitzels Recipe
This Keto Schnitzels recipe is crispy on the outside with moist and tender pork on the inside.
We like to serve ours with a side of Buttery Cauliflower Mash and a squeeze of Lemon. They’re also great accompanied by our Sour Cream & Chive Broccoli Mash.
This keto shcnitzels recipe makes 4 serves. These schnitzels can easily be cooked ahead of time, sliced and added to a salad for lunch or dinner.
While we’ve used pork top round steaks for our keto schnitzels. Boneless pork chops, loin and tenderloin also work well.
Keto Schnitzels Recipe – Pork Coated in Herb and Parmesan
Ingredients for Making Keto Pork Schnitzels
- 14 ounces Pork Top Round, cut into 4 thin steaks
- 1 Egg
- 1 tablespoon of Heavy Cream
- 1 tablespoons of Water
- 3/4 cup Parmesan Cheese, finely grated
- 1 tablespoon of Italian Herb & Spice Blend
- 1/2 teaspoon of Pepper
- Oil for deep frying. We used peanut oil because we only had an exposed element type deep fryer. Tallow or lard would be better if you have a different deep fryer with no exposed element (see our Best Oil for Deep Frying article to make the best choice)
How To Make Keto Schnitzels
- Preheat your deep fryer to 180C/355F.
- Using a meat mallet or tenderizer or rolling pin, pound the pork steaks to a thickness of 1/4in/0.5cm.
- In a bowl, add the egg, cream and water and whisk until combined.
- On a small baking tray, sprinkle over the parmesan, Italian Herb & Spice Blend and pepper. Give a light stir to mix the “breading”.
- Dip each pork steak into the egg mixture and then coat in the parmesan mixture. Pressing the parmesan into the steak.
- Gently place the schnitzels into the deep fryer and fry until golden brown and cooked through. Approximately 5 to 7 minutes. If you have a small deep fryer it is best to fry the schnitzels in batches to prevent them from sticking together.
- Remove the schnitzels from the oil and allow to drain before serving.
