- Lemon zest — Use a microplane or fine grater to zest the lemon, avoiding the bitter white pith.
Tips & Tricks
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of dried thyme or rosemary to the flour mixture.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, sprinkle some cayenne pepper into the breadcrumb coating.
- Serve the Danish Pork Krebinetter with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for a tangy twist.
- To keep the cutlets warm and crispy, place them on a wire rack in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) while frying the remaining cutlets.
- Leftover cutlets can be refrigerated and enjoyed cold the next day or reheated in the oven for a few minutes.
