... shredded cheese, herbs, and other ingredients, all of which are breaded and fried for a flavorful meal you will not be able to get enough of.

Recipes

Best served with:

Creamy Mashed Potatoes
Oven-Roasted Potato Wedges
Tartar Sauce

Directions:

1. Dutch Schnitzel “dough”:

1.1. Place into a mixing bowl:

1 LB of ground pork sausage
2 cups of shredded cheese of your choice
2 large eggs
2 TBSP of heavy cream
2 cloves of garlic – grated
2 TBSP of dried parsley
½ TSP of salt
½ TSP of ground pepper

And thoroughly stir until fully combined.

1.2. Cover with food wrap and let rest in the refrigerator for 15 – 30 minutes (optionally longer).

Note:
You will end up with about 30 OZ of Dutch Schnitzel “Dough”.

2. Breading station:

2.1.

Place ½ cup of all-purpose flour on a plate.

2.2. Prepare the egg mixture– place into a medium mixing bowl:

2 eggs
½ cup of milk
2 cloves of garlic – grated

Whisk together until combined (about 1 minute).

2.3.

Place 1 ½ cups of breadcrumbs into the second mixing bowl.

3. Form and bread the Dutch schnitzel:

Important:

  • Form the Dutch Schnitzel one-by-one (always complete one before you start forming the next).
  • Try to create even portions to get an even cooking time during the following steps.
  • For perfect uniformity and good workflow, it is best to scoop the Dutch Schnitzel “dough” with a disher. The best disher sizes would be 5.33 FL OZ (about 4 – 5 portions, 6.2 OZ each) or 4 FL OZ (about 6 – 7 portions, 4.3 OZ each), but feel free to use other sizes of dishers as you wish.

3.1.

Scoop the dough and place it on a plate with flour.

3.2.

When on the plate with flour, lightly press with your hands (the Dutch Schnitzel will get partially formed).

3.3. Then turn and evenly press again to a final thickness . The final thickness should be anywhere between 3/4” to 1” based on your preference.

Notes:

  • After completing this step, the Dutch Schnitzel should be fully coated with flour.
  • To ease further manipulation, you can optionally press the Dutch Schnitzel at this step only partially with the intent to finish pressing the final shape after breading is complete.

3.4.

Then place into an egg mixture and coat from both sides.

3.5. Finally, coat in breadcrumbs and put aside on a plate for the following cooking.

Note:
After breading is completed, you can optionally adjust the final shape if needed by lightly pressing.
