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.

Winner Winner Pork Chop Dinner!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is soooo good. After reading many reviews I decided to make the following changes: use three eggs as many have... suggested. Then butterfly the chops so they are thin like cutlets. Then coat in this order: cheese, egg wash, cheese, egg wash, bread crumbs. This way you will have a bit of a richer flavor and will get to cook through on stovetop. Will be delicious and crispy and the chops will be moist and tender.! It's a keeper!Read more

I used chops that were about 1 inch thick so I had to let them finish in the oven. They turned out great!

Great recipe!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this recipe for dinner tonight and it came out great. I used thick boneless center cut pork chops so I did have to... bake them in a 400 degree oven for about 15-20 minutes after browning them on the stove. The pork chopsl came out very juicy and the crust was perfect! The lemon is a great touch. I made green beans on the side and used the extra lemon to flavor the beans, a great compliment to the pork. This recipe is definitely a keeper!Read more
