Ingredients
- 8boneless loin slices of pork, 3 ounces each, trimmed of excess fat
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- 1egg
- 2tablespoons water
- 2cups fresh bread crumbs
- 2tablespoons olive oil
- 1½cups tomato sauce (see recipe)
- 8slices mozzarella cheese
- ¼cup freshly grated Romano or Parmesan cheese
Preparation
- Step 1
Sprinkle the pork slices with salt and pepper. Put the egg and water in a shallow dish and blend thoroughly. Put the bread cumbs in another shallow dish. Dip the slices into the egg mixture to coat both sides, then dredge them in the bread crumbs on both sides.
- Step 2
Place the cutlets on a flat surface and tap lightly with the flat side of a heavy knife to help the bread crumbs to adhere.
- Step 3
Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet large enough to hold the pork slices in one layer. Cook over medium-high heat about 5 minutes or until lightly browned. Turn the slices and cook for about 5 minutes more or until browned.
- Step 4
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Step 5
Spoon a little tomato sauce over the bottom of a flat baking dish large enough to hold the pork slices in one layer. Place the slices over the sauce and add the mozzarella slices on top. Add the remaining sauce between the slices. Sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese and bake until piping hot and the cheese is melted.
