Parmesan Crusted Pork Chops

The other day I tried my hand at Pork Chops for the first time. When I was a little kid I never really liked Pork Chops, They were always so dry I would have to use ketchup to be able to swallow them. But I find out the other day that my husband absolutely Loves them. (Poor Austin, he's been deprived for going on four years now!) I decided to make them when I saw they were on an Amazing sale at Aldi. (LOVE that place, but I'll save it for a different post!) I found a recipe that sounded yummy and tried it, and to my shock and amazement they were moist and awesome! Yay, Me! (lol!)


Parmesan Crusted Pork Chops


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


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!
