SCHNITZEL SANDWICH

Steps:

• Place chicken between 2 sheets of heavy plastic on a solid, level surface; firmly pound with the smooth side of a meat mallet to an even thickness. Season generously with salt and pepper.
• Pour flour into a large, flat dish. Beat eggs thoroughly in a shallow bowl. Pour bread crumbs into another large, flat dish.
• Dredge each piece of chicken in flour, dip in beaten eggs, and coat with bread crumbs.
• Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Cook breaded chicken in batches until golden brown and no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes per side. Drain on an ovenproof plate lined with paper towels. Keep warm in the oven.
• Spread mayonnaise over bottom half of each sandwich roll; top with 1 piece of breaded chicken, a few drops of lemon juice, 1 dash hot sauce, and 1 lettuce leaf. Spread mustard over the top half of each sandwich roll. Place top halves over lettuce to form sandwiches.

SCHNITZEL SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Put the flour in a shallow dish and season with salt and pepper. Whisk the eggs and milk in another shallow dish and season with salt and pepper. Combine the breadcrumbs and seeds in a third dish; season with salt and pepper. Lightly dredge each cutlet in the flour, shaking off the excess. Dip in the egg mixture, then in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to coat both sides.
• Arrange the cutlets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate, uncovered, 1 hour. (This will help the coating stick to the meat.)
• Heat the olive oil and butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, fry the cutlets until golden brown and crisp, about 3 minutes per side, sprinkling with the parsley during the last minute of cooking. Remove to a rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain. Season with salt.
• Sandwich the schnitzel on the pretzel rolls (you might need to cut the bigger pieces of meat). Top with pickles, red onion, lettuce and/or mustard.

PORK SCHNITZEL SANDWICH

Steps:

• For the schnitzel: Add the flour to a shallow dish and season with the seasoning salt and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk together the milk and eggs in a separate shallow dish. Add the breadcrumbs and parsley to a third shallow dish.
• Heat the olive oil and butter in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
• Season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Bread the pork by coating the chops lightly in the seasoned flour, then dipping them in the egg mixture. Next, coat the chops in the breadcrumbs. You can use your fingertips to really press the breadcrumbs onto the pork, which will help the breading stay on while frying.
• Carefully lay the pork chops in the skillet, cooking until golden and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain slightly and squeeze over the lemon.
• For the cabbage. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the red onion and fennel and mustard seeds and cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes, being careful as the seeds might pop slightly during cooking. Add the cabbage, apple cider, vinegar and honey and cook until the cabbage is softened and the liquid is reduced slightly, 4 to 5 minutes.
• For the sandwiches: Spread a heaping teaspoon each of mayo and mustard on both halves of each roll. Top the bottom half of each roll with 2 lettuce leaves, then top with a piece of schnitzel and some warm cabbage. Shingle over some slices of apple, then top with the other half of the roll. Serve with salt and vinegar potato chips.

PORK SCHNITZEL

Steps:

• Begin by placing each chop between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and gently pounding them out with the flat side of a meat tenderizer until they are an even 1/4-inch thick.
• Put the flour in a shallow dish and season with salt and pepper. Whisk the eggs and milk in another shallow dish and season with salt and pepper. Put the bread crumbs in a third dish and again season with salt and pepper. Lightly dredge each piece of pork in flour, then in the egg and finally into the bread crumbs, pressing the bread crumbs onto the pork gently so they have a nice even coating.
• Lay the breaded pork cutlets in a single layer on a plate lined with parchment and refrigerate, uncovered, for 10 to 12 minutes to allow the coating to dry out a little and adhere to the pork.
• Heat oil and butter in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thyme sprig and let it fry for about 1 minute to infuse the oil. Remove the thyme sprig and reserve. Gently lay the cutlets into the pan and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to paper towels to drain. Season with salt and transfer to a serving platter while still hot. Garnish with lemon wedges and the fried thyme sprig before serving.
