Recipe Tips & Notes

Can you cook gluten free schnitzel in the oven?
Cooking in the oven is an option too. An oven baked schnitzel is commonly lower in fat than traditional fried schnitzel, but both taste just as good!
Preheat the oven to 400F (200C). Place coated pork/chicken on lightly greased baking tray and drizzle with oil. Bake for 15 minutes or until crispy and golden.

Found some center cut pork chops on sale at the grocery store the other day bought two packs, brought them home and made this recipe. Served alongside roasted potatoes and they were wonderful! Lemon is a definite must. Only change I made was at the same amount of spices to both the flour and the panko crumbs.
Thanks for sharing. This schnitzel works every time!
Delicious!!
My family loved it! It also works with veal instead of pork!
I have made this many times for different people and it gets a great reception. It takes practice to get those cutlets done golden brown but it is very forgiving overall. Great for Oktoberfest.
I’ve made this quite a few times. Sometimes I use panko but I suggest adding zest of a lemon to the sauce.
Delicious! Easy to make and has a great flavor.
Make this often always good
My husband who is a picky eater really enjoyed this and so did I. We will be having this again.
I made your recipe tonight for the first time. Came out excellent! I used panko breadcrumbs, crunchy, very light, delicious! TY😋
Yummy😋
Better schnitzel than I’ve had in Germany! Followed recipe exactly. Served with red cabbage. Delish!
Excellent and simple recipe. Thanks!!
Thank you for your sharing. This was delicious
Very good. We used air fryer insured of pan frying.Still came out great.
OMG! This is sooo good. And Easy to prepare.
I tried your recipe last night and my husband loved it. Instead of pork, I used chicken and it turned out pretty good. This is the first time I tried your recipe. Thank you.
THIS was amazing!! It was easy, delicious & I will definitely be keeping this recipe to use a lot in future. Thank you so much for such a beautiful recipe – we appreciate it 🙂
Oh my goodness!!! This is a family favorite!! ❤️ So good, thank you.
It was absolutely fabulous – “melt in my mouth” was the prevalent comment. We’ll be enjoying this again in future. Thanks!!!
Easy, quick, and delicious! Served it with fries and mayo (yes, German mayo!) and it brought in high praise from around the table!
Nice and crispy coating and tender interior. I made this exactly as it is written and it’s perfect. Thank you!
Schnitzel was always my favorite meal to order when I lived in Germany in the late 90’s. Thanks to you I was able to relive those fabulous meals. I made this Schnitzel along with your German potato salad when our kids and their spouses came over for Sunday dinner and everyone raved about it.
one of our families favorite recipe. Jagger schnitzel is amazing too. It’s also great in a big roll with mayonnaise for lunch. I’ve made it with veal, pork, chicken breast, and venison. Sort of like a chicken fried meat but pounded thin. If I have buttermilk in the fridge I add it to the egg mix and double dip. extra thick and crunchy crust.
Schnitzel perfection! Every bit as good as my favorite Schnitzels in Germany. I was stationed in Ramstein for 4 years and took every opportunity to dive into the local food. I loved it. Now on to try your other German recipes!
With chicken or with pork, it is a nice recipe.
It was a great dinner idea!
Used pork. It was a great recipe! Trying chicken next.
