Schnitzel is a traditional German dish made from a boneless cut of meat that is pounded out thin, breaded and then fried. The breading creates a wonderful crunchy shell around the meat.

1/2 t. freshly ground black pepper
1 c. all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten

Trim meat of unwanted fat. Place chops between a double layer of plastic wrap. Pound out chops until 1/4 inch thick. Season with salt and pepper.
Pour flour into a shallow dish.
In another shallow dish, whisk eggs together with lemon juice.
In a third shallow dish, spread out bread crumbs.
Pour about 1/4 inch vegetable oil into a large, deep skillet; heat oil to 350 degrees.
Dredge chops in flour to coat; immediately dip and coat chops in eggs; dredge in bread crumbs to coat.
Place chops into the hot oil; fry 3 - 4 minutes, working in batches as needed. (Don't over crowd the chops.) Gently turn chops over; cook for another 3 - 4 minutes on the second side, until chops reach a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees and are browned and crisp.
Serve hot garnished with lemon slices.
