Ingredients
- 4 boneless pork chops
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- In a shallow bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
- Dip each pork chop into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, dredge the pork chop into the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere the coating. Repeat for each chop.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. When hot, add the pork chops, searing them for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
- Once seared, transfer the pork chops to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
- Remove the pork chops from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. This will allow the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender bite.
- Garnish the pork chops with fresh parsley before serving. Pair with your favorite side dishes such as roasted vegetables or a refreshing salad for a complete meal.
These Parmesan Crusted Pork Chops are sure to become a family favorite, offering a simple yet delicious way to enjoy pork. The crunch from the Parmesan coating coupled with the succulent meat makes every bite a sheer delight. Enjoy your meal!
