Krüstchen Schnitzel

Krüstchen schnitzel is a traditional dish originating from Frankfurt and the surrounding areas. The dish usually consists of a schnitzel that's served on a slice of toasted bread or rye bread. It's topped with a fried egg and traditionally served with french fries, pickles, roast potatoes, or potato salad on the side. The meat used for the preparation of the schnitzel is typically pork. The meat is pounded thin, coated with flour, dipped in beaten eggs, dredged in breadcrumbs, and then fried in butter or a mixture of oil and butter until golden brown and crispy.
