Krebinetter (Breaded Pork Patties)
Krebinetter are crispy on the outside, flavorful on the inside, and perfect for a hearty weeknight dinner! Serve alongside salad, roast potatoes, or other side dishes for a well-rounded meal.
Ingredients
- 635 grams (1.4 lbs) ground pork
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 35 grams (1/4 cup) flour
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 2-3 large eggs
- 225-300 grams (1.5-2 cups) breadcrumbs (we use panko breadcrumbs!)
- 60 ml (1/4 cup) vegetable or canola oil for cooking
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 F (190 C). Note: this step may be optional if you make your patties thin enough to just pan-fry them.
- Form 6 equal sized patties from your ground pork. Keep in mind that you can adjust the number/size of these to your preference, it just may affect the cooking time!
- Season the patties well with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Set up a breading station: One plate with flour, garlic powder, and a bit of salt and pepper; The second bowl/plate with a beaten egg; The third plate with breadcrumbs and a touch of salt.
- Begin breading the krebinetter by coating in flour, then the egg, then the breadcrumbs.
- We like to double bread the breadcrumbs for the best coverage, so put the patty back into the egg and then coat in breadcrumbs for a second time.
- Repeat until you have breaded all the patties. As you go, you will likely run out of egg; you may need to use another one to keep breading.
- Heat up your oil in a skillet or pan over medium heat. Once it is hot enough to sizzle (test with a piece of breadcrumb), drop in the patties.
- Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, until fully cooked through. Depending on the thickness, you may want to cook for an additional 10 minutes in a 375F (190C) oven to make sure that the center is fully cooked.
- Serve with your favorite sides and enjoy!
