Definately beats Shake & Bake

I'm a newbie to the cooking world and this recipe is right up my allie. Soaking the pork in the milk mixture brings a great flavor to the meat. I substitute a little panko breadcrumbs (about 1/4 of a cup) to add a little crunch. It really beats Shake & Bake hands down, esp. if you are trying to ween yourself off processed/high-in-sodium foods.




Kickin' Pork chops!

Absolutely delicious and extremely easy. The best tip for me was putting the pork chops on a rack instead of placing directly on pan. No more hard bottoms of pork chops. Very moist with a nice little "kick" from the crushed pepper. This one's a keeper.




mmm mmm good!!!!

Mine did not get very crisp in the oven. Omitted red pepper flake as guest does not like hot foods. Just thought it was ok tasting. Unfortunately have had better success with premade pork chop coatings.




Cook this one!

I hadn't really ventured into the pork chops area before and went on a search for a recipe last night. Turns out I made the best decision. This recipe was very easy to execute and tasted fantastic. I subsituted the wine for chicken stock and the cheese for a 3-cheese blend I had on hand and added a little parmesan to the top. Tasted so good. My only issue was that I think my chops were slightly thicker than the recipe's and they could have done with an extra 5 minutes in the oven.

This dish was very easy to make. I used Italian five cheeses instead of the what the recipe called for. I used dry Vermouth for the dry white wine. The dish came out delicious. I have three kids and they all enjoyed this dish. They want me to keep this recipe to make again and again.

I love food with a lot of flavor, but sometimes this disagrees with my husband's more reserved palate for palad tasting things. We just had these pork chops for dinner tonight and we both fell in love with the flavor - even with all the crushed red pepper spice and heavy garlic from the marinade! Way to go Hilda!




Best yet

I consider myself a fairly good cook but have yet to master the pork chop. This is the best recipe for pork chops that I have tried (and there have been many). I, too, used a thicker chop and was very pleased with the result.

Hubby said this is a keeper. Easy and I love the fact that you bake not fry. I used a little less of the red pepper flakes. I like to mash the pepper flakes, either in your hand or with a spoon, to get the flavors out. Definitely will make again.

I have been frying pork chops for about a year without flour to cut down on the fat, but this way show me a way to replace the coating and still save from using the fat. Thank you for the new way of cooking an old favorite.

The best pork chops I ever made or eaten. I used thick (1 inch) chops and hot bread crumbs and baked for 35 minutes. What a wonderful, new tasting experience. The pork chops had a nice heat and were juicy beyond belief. Emeril you really came through with this recipe. Thank you!!!

Though I used thicker chops, cooked slightly longer, this these turned about fabulous. Because my mother-in-law doesn't care for spicy hot food, I halved the crushed red pepper flakes and the small hint of hot was awesome. Better than frying ... and the breading made the chops look almost fancy. The Pecorino is genius. An-oth-uh notch!




Good

The kick up breaded pork chops turned out good but they weren't as spicy as everyone expected. You need to make sure that you get the right THICKNESS of pork chop b/c if not the chop doesn't seem cooked in certain parts :)

These have become a regular monthly meal in our household. My husband doesn't care for pork but enjoys these chops. I usually make them with rice and gravy on the side and boy do they compiment each other. Just about any veggie works to top off this hardy meal.




Excellent!

Truly the best pork chops I've ever made. I cut WAY down on the red pepper, so my kids would enjoy it. And I substituted fresh grated Parm for the Pecorino. These were SO easy and delicious. I will use this recipe on a regular basis.




Juicy!

User: mary from Missoula, MT    User Rating:
wow, this turned out great! My husband likes pork, I am not such a fan, as it normally turns out dry. Not the case with this recipe. Cooking on the rack also worked out great, as sometimes I find I loose the bread coating in the pan. It was very moist, and flavorful, easy to prepare. Was still moist the next day, heated up in the microwave. I will make this one again!




Family pleaser!!

I read through first to see how 'kicked-up' Emeril got these to be ! What a wonderful dish ! The time and ease were perfect for people on-the-go . The complement to this dish are MY favorite things to balance out the dish . Very good ! Very easy !! I'll make it over and over again , for sure !!!!

Very easy recipe to follow. It was nice to have everything on hand - no need for some gourmet item that cost a fortune. Chops came out with a nice crunch and hidden kick! Also, first time a pork chop came out moist and not dry. Will make them again.




Peas, please!

I haven't tried the pork chops, but the smothered peas are to die for! They take no time to put together, only 10 minutes to cook, and I always have the ingredients on hand. A definite go-to side dish from now on.

I typically like Emeril's recipes but not this one. This is Shake N Bake with a kick, save time buy the box mix and add red pepper flakes. Flavorless and boring, sorry Emeril!

I made these for dinner one night. My husband and I love spicy food so we were excited to try them. I thought they came out just ok. The flavor wasn't really there and they weren't that tender. My regular way of making breaded pork chops in the oven tastes much better.
