Set up a breadcrumbing station, with a plate of flour seasoned with salt, a bowl of the beaten eggs, then a tray of breadcrumbs. Coat the flattened pork in the flour, then the eggs, then the breadcrumbs, ensuring they are completely covered
3
Melt the butter in a wide frying pan then add the schnitzels. Cook over a medium heat for around 6 minutes each side, making sure the breadcrumbs don’t burn. Once cooked, lift the schnitzels out and set aside to rest, then use the same butter and pan to fry the quail eggs and capers
