I thought I hated pork chops until I made this recipe. Which probably means that the ones I've had previously were just dry and awful and I blamed all of pork chop kind. Sorry pork chops. It turns out if you don't overcook them, they're not half bad. And if you coat them in parmesan and bread crumbs, they're actually quite good. Who knew.
PARMESAN-CRUSTED PORK CHOPS
Yield:
4 servings
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
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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 150º F., about 6 minutes per
side.
4. Transfer the chops to plates
and serve with lemon wedges.
