Parmesan Pork Cutlets

With a 1 year old, I decided there was no way we were going to fight the crowds to eat out on Valentine's Day. So, after she went to bed, we had a nice dinner ALONE. I decided to make something a little more time consuming so we could have a nice meal.

Note: I'm usually a big fan of leftovers. These, however, don't make the best leftovers. I always forget that and make enough for leftovers. Then, as I'm eating the leftovers, I remember that it was SO much better the night before.

1 lb pork tenderloin, thinly sliced
2 large eggs
1 tsp salt
4 tbsp olive oil
1/2 c flour
1 c bread crumbs (Watch out! Many brands contain milk!)
1/4 c grated Parmesan (only for milk consumers)

Heat oven to 400. Pound tenderloin to 1/4 inch slices. Place the flour on a plate. Place the eggs in a bowl and beat slightly. In a seperate bowl, combine the bread crumbs, salt, and Parmesan (optional). Coat cutlets in flour, then egg, and then in bread crumbs. Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Add cutlets, and cook until golden . Place cutlets on a baking sheet. Transfer to oven and heat until cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.

Here's how I make them for us- I mix the bread crumbs and salt and make a couple of tenderloins for my hubby. Then I add the Parmesan and make some for me. :) The best of both worlds!
