About the dish

Siegerländer Krüstche is a traditional dish originating from Siegen. The dish is usually made with a combination of a pork cutlet, flour, eggs, breadcrumbs, bread, butter, salt, pepper, and oil. The pork cutlet is seasoned with salt and pepper, rolled in flour, dipped in egg wash, dredged in breadcrumbs, and then fried in hot oil until golden brown. The bread slices are toasted, spread with butter, and then topped with the fried pork cutlet, while the cutlet itself is topped with a fried egg in order to finish the dish.
