Parmesan Crusted Pork Chops
My sister, Brooke, gave me this recipe. I may have changed it a bit because when she gave me the recipe she told me she used "some" bread crumbs, and "a lot" of Parmesan cheese. I used to cook all carefree like that. And then, I started a blog . . .
So, I took her recipe and guessed about what "some" and "a lot" meant. I think I must have been close, because the result was quite tasty. It's also surprisingly simple to make. And, I think it's pretty versatile. I served my chops with fettuccine alfredo and steamed broccoli, which were both a nice compliment. Brooke says she usually serves hers with cheesy rice. After having tried the chops, I'd guess that the cheesy rice would go well too.
Here's what you need:
6 Thinly sliced Pork Chops
1 Cup Italian Bread Crumbs
1 Cup finely grated Parmesan Cheese
1 Tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
2 Eggs
Vegetable oil for browning the chops
Here's what you do:
1. Combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a bowl.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten.
3. Put a pan on the stove on medium to medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil and allow the oil to get warm.
4. While you're waiting for the vegetable oil to heat up, preheat the oven to 350 degrees and cover a cookie sheet in aluminum foil.
5. Coat one pork chop in the bread crumb mixture. Dip it in the beaten eggs. Return it to the bread crumb mixture and coat again. Immediately put the pork chop in the pan of warm oil. Cook each side of the pork chop until it is golden brown and then remove from pan and place on cookie sheet.
Hint: While I had one pork chop in the pan cooking, I started step number 5 on
the next pork chop, paying close attention to the pork chop on the stove to
make sure it didn't burn.
7. Once all the pork chops have been browned and are on the cookie sheet, place the cookie sheet in the oven and bake for about 35 minutes, or until the chops are cooked all the way through.
Enjoy!
