Ingredients

2 large eggs
1 cup dried Italian-style bread crumbs
3/4 cups freshly grated Parmesan
4 (1/2 to 3/4-inch thick) center-cut pork loin chops (each about 10 to 12 ounces)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 tablespoons olive oil
Lemon wedges, for serving

Directions

Whisk the eggs in a pie plate to blend. Place the bread crumbs in another pie plate. Place the cheese in a third pie plate. Sprinkle the pork chops generously with salt and pepper. Coat the chops completely with the cheese, patting to adhere. Dip the chops into the eggs, then coat completely with the bread crumbs, patting to adhere.

Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a very large skillet over medium heat. Add pork chops, in batches if necessary, and cook until golden brown and the center reaches 150 degrees, about 6 minutes per side. Transfer the chops to plates and serve with lemon wedges.

Fantastic pork chops!! Recipe is slightly different from what aired on TV though.....
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I've made pork chops using this recipe a few times and they have always been amazing. I think the trick to this recipe is... the thickness of the pork chops you have bought and then trying to adjust the cooking time etc. Also, on the actual TV episode in which this recipe was featured, Giada browned them on the stove top, but then finished them in the oven (her chops looked really thick). I wish they had incorporated this part into the actual recipe that is posted online. I will follow some of the suggestions listed in this thread on finishing them off in the oven. Read more

Excellent
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I am a vegetarian so I did not try this recipe, but I made it for my parents who love pork chops....they said they were... fantastic and loved the recipe!! It was super easy to make too....I did end up having to cook mine longer than 6 minutes per side, but i guess that all depends on the size of the porkchop Kylie I make a lot of dishes with an eggwash and i have never had anything come out tasting like eggs....do you scramble the eggs? maybe add a little water to make the eggs not as thick, that is what I usually do, and make sure your dipping your meat in the egg then breadcrumbs....I have heard of people doing it backwards lol hope that helps you!!

Made this exactly as the recipe states, except I added capers at the end. Big hit, would make again.

Eggs?
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

Every time I make something that requires an egg for the breading process, my meat tastes like the eggs that I dipped it in.... Is there any way the breading will stick without the egg, or is there something that I'm doing wrong that gives the pork an egg-like flavor? Your thoughts and advice are appreciated!Read more

Super easy and quick to put together! Absolutely flavorful! my family loved it! our cuts were slightly thin, but we double up... the pieces per person, and my boyfriend still couldn't get enough! the lemon really adds a good zing to the pork chops. couldn't ask for anything better! Read more
