This stuffed pork cutlet recipe has an unusual look and feel. I thought I'd seen all there was to see when it came to pan-fried pork cutlets, but then I saw something called "Katsu Mille-Feuille," and I realized I hadn't seen anything yet. Okay, I'm being a little dramatic, but I really loved the internal flavoring opportunities the multi-layer technique provides. I look forward to seeing what you come up with! Served here with a salad and a squeeze of lemon on top.

Place cutlets onto a plate and dust on all sides with flour until lightly coated. Place beaten egg into a shallow dish; place bread crumbs into a second shallow dish. Dredge each cutlet in egg, then press in bread crumbs to coat. Let cutlets rest for 10 to 15 minutes.

Heat at least 1/4 inch olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook each cutlet in hot oil until crust is browned and meat springs back when poked, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
