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.

    Excellent! I took the suggestion of Kitchen Shy and made a chopped type salad with lettuce, tomato, onion and cucumber with a mustard, lemon juice, olive oil dressing on top of the chops and it was AWESOME! I would never had thought to put a salad on top of a chop, but it worked! Be careful with the chops and don't have the heat too high or they will burn. I actually burnt the first side a bit, so I turned the heat down to med-low to finish on the other side. The chops were tender and moist, the salad was a great addition and don't forget the lemon on the side. Oh, so tart and tasty!

    I am gluten free and was able to adapt this recipe easily. I used only egg whites, gluten free bread crumbs and Ms. Garlic & herb seasoning. What a quick and delightful meal. Added basmati rice and tomatoes and zucchini. Yummy!
