Season pork loin chops with salt and pepper.

Place them between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them using a meat mallet. Set aside.

Add butter to a skillet, and add enough oil to fill the pan to 1/8 inch. Heat the oil and butter over high heat.
-
In the meantime, Place flour in a shallow dish, and add breadcrumbs to a separate shallow dish. Place the beaten eggs in a third shallow bowl.
-
Dip a cutlet in flour, and coat it completely. Then dip the cutlet in the beaten eggs. Let any excess egg drain off and dip it into the breadcrumbs, coating it completely.
