How to Make Pork Medallions Milanese

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese on a sheet of waxed paper.
Place 1 cup breadcrumbs on another sheet of waxed paper.
In a small bowl, whisk 1 egg white with 1 tablespoon water.
Season pork medallions (about 1 lb total) with salt and pepper.
Dredge each pork medallion in the Parmesan cheese, pressing gently to adhere.
Dip each Parmesan-coated medallion in the egg white mixture, allowing excess to drip off.
Coat each medallion thoroughly in breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure a good coating.
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the pork medallions and cook for 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the medallions to a baking sheet.
Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
