Easy German Pork Schnitzel
There is something about this Easy German Pork Schnitzel and brown gravy that really makes this the classic comfort food dish. Honestly, I think there is something about brown gravy that does that to me. Phillip and I were eating this like soup while waiting for the schnitzel to bake. But the schnitzel alone, no gravy, reminds me of eating chicken cutlets off the brown paper bags that my mom just fried as a kid. Running into the kitchen and stealing a few bites as if no one would notice before dinner. Wether it be chicken or pork, it takes me back to being a kid surrounded by family and a full tummy.
The classic Pork Schnitzel is fried in oil and butter. While that all sounds absolutely amazing and I would like to eat that on the regular my waistline and arteries do not agree. So, Phillip and I decided we would bake these Easy German Pork Schnitzel’s instead of frying them. We get the best of both worlds, pork schnitzel and semi-healthy! To make sure to get the pork to crisp on both sides, you need to flip each chop mid-bake. Once you remove the pork from the oven it’s best to either put these on a rack or brown paper bag to continue to crisp the breading.
Now back to the gravy. Yum. It’s so very simple and basic but provides such a punch to a dish. For our sides when making this dish Phillip made roasted baby potatoes and zucchini. Well let’s just say, we didn’t hesitate to cover those potatoes and zucchini in brown gravy as soon as we snapped these pictures! And stopped each other before we licked the plate. Well, maybe we were too late to that. But I am proud of that!
From our kitchen to your, cheers!
