Ingredients:
4 pork chops (you can use boneless pork tenderloins)
8 slices of melting cheese (like gouda, mozzarella, cheddar, or a mix of these)
Salt and pepper to taste
100 grams of wheat flour
2 eggs
100 grams of panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
Vegetable oil for frying
Grated cheese for gratin (like parmesan or a cheese that grates well)
Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Meat
Start by lightly pounding the pork chops if they are too thick – ideally, they should be around 1 cm thick so they cook evenly. Season them with salt and pepper on both sides for a hint of flavor.
