Pork Cutlets with Poached egg

Pork Cutlets with Poached egg is a very known dish is Portugal. The meat and the onions are Fried in butter, as well for a sunny side-up egg. Very delicious combination. We serve this dish as is, expect, we aren’t fry friendly. As said, we braise the meat and the onion in a homemade sauce and then we poach an egg to go with it. After the meat is fork tender we blend the onions and the sauce in a blender. Now you have a rich smooth sauce full of flavour which you spread over the cutlet and dip your potatoes in.

What side dish to serve with Pork Cutlets and poached egg?

If we were having this dish in a typical Portuguese restaurant, the Cutlets would be served with a dish of fried potatoes and sunny side-up egg. We substituted the egg for a runny poached egg and instead of fried potatoes, we use our Air Fryer. The results are amazing and the potatoes are crispy on the outside and tender in the inside. We leave them in the Air Fryer for about 12 minutes on 350F. Simply toss them around once or twice and that is it!
