Ingredients

1 (5-ounce) box plain melba toast
2 teaspoons Emeril's Italian Essence or other dry Italian seasoning
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons Baby Bam, recipe follows
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
6 thin center-cut pork chops (about 2 1/4 pounds)

Directions

Position rack in center of oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Line a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.

Place the melba toast in a food processor and pulse to form coarse crumbs, about 3 pulses.

Transfer the crumbs to a large plastic resealable food storage bag and add the Italian Essence, 2 tablespoons of the Baby Bam, the garlic powder, Parmesan, and vegetable oil. Close the bag and shake to combine.

In a medium mixing bowl, beat the eggs and remaining 2 teaspoons of Baby Bam with a fork.

Using your hands, dip the pork chops 1 at a time into the eggs, then place in the bag, close, and shake to coat on both sides, pressing so that the crumbs adhere.

Place the chops on the wire rack on the baking sheet.

Bake until the pork chops are cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crisp, about 20 minutes.

Using oven mitts or pot holders, remove the baking sheet from the oven and serve the chops immediately.

Baby Bam:

1/2 teaspoon celery salt

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

2 teaspoons garlic powder

2 teaspoons onion powder

2 tablespoons dried parsley

2 tablespoons salt

3 tablespoons paprika

Place all the ingredients in a small mixing bowl and stir well to combine, using a wooden spoon. Then store in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

Yield: about 3/4 cup

Most tender pork chops I ever made!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I changed out some of the spices and toast for Garlic bread crumbs and reduced the salt. My whole family loved them (even... picky kids). I'm never making dry, tough pork chops again!Read more

Pork Chops
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

They were good- but I have made better breaded pork chops. It has a LOT of flavor, but it might be too strong for my subtle... taste.Read more

Differing opinions on this One
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

My husband loved these, I thought they were pretty good and my adult son rated them too spicy. So I just took an average... score for the ratings. They are easy to make, although I used a thicker boneless pork chops and so the baking time had to be increased.Read more

Yes!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This is a winner. good flavor and texture and its easy to prepare. I used this recipe with tilapia fillets and it came out... great. Just reduced the cook time to about 14 minutes. The fish came out moist and tender with a crsipy crust and the flavor from the seasonings was super. This one is in my recipe box for keeps.Read more

The best
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My husband and 2 sons said these were the best pork chops they have ever eaten. I didn't follow the recipe exactly though. I... used seasoned bread crumbs instead of melba toast and just estimated on all of the seasonings. I also did not put vegetable oil in with the bread crumbs. This will definitely be added to our recipe box.Read more
