Tonkatsu Cheese Pie combines the crispy, savory goodness of Japanese tonkatsu with the indulgence of cheesy pizza. This fusion dish is a delightful treat that is both satisfying and unique.

Ingredients

• Panko breadcrumbs - 100 grams
• All-purpose flour - 50 grams
• Egg - 1 large
• Boneless pork loin - 200 grams
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Vegetable oil - for frying
• Mozzarella cheese - 100 grams, shredded
• Shredded cheddar cheese - 50 grams
• Pizza dough - 250 grams
• Tonkatsu sauce - 30 grams
• Green onions - 2 tablespoons, chopped

Steps

1. Pound the pork loin between two sheets of plastic wrap until about 1 cm thick, then season with salt and black pepper.
2. Coat the pork in flour, dip it in the beaten egg, and then cover it in panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
3. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat and fry the breaded pork for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
4. Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F). Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a pizza pan.
5. Spread the tonkatsu sauce evenly over the pizza dough, then top with a layer of mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
6. Slice the fried tonkatsu into strips and arrange them evenly over the cheese.
7. Sprinkle the chopped green onions over the top and add any remaining cheese.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden.
9. Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve immediately.
