Serving Size

• 4 servings

Ingredients

• 4 boneless pork chops, 1-inch thick
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup Italian breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

1. Preparation: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a shallow dish, combine the Parmesan cheese, flour, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
3. Egg Wash: In a separate shallow dish, beat the eggs until well-blended.
4. Coat the Pork Chops: Dip each pork chop into the egg wash, ensuring both sides are fully coated. Allow the excess to drip off, then press each side of the chop into the Parmesan mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
5. Pan Sear: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork chops and sear for 2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
6. Bake: Transfer the seared pork chops to the prepared baking sheet. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
7. Rest & Serve: Let the pork chops rest for 3 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
