I know I’ve already told you this before, but I love parmesan cheese. I enjoy it so much that I use it a lot in my cooking and put it on pretty much anything. And today is no different because I am going to be sharing with you how to cook pork chops with parmesan. This pork chop recipe is delicious and it’s definitely a keeper. 🙂

Parmesan-Crusted Pork Chops

Ingredients

Two large eggs

1 C. dried Italian seasoned bread crumbs

3⁄4 C. parmesan cheese, freshly grated

10 oz (up to 12) center cut pork loin chop, (1/2 to 3/4-inch thick)

salt and pepper to taste

6 tbsp olive oil

One lemon, cut into wedges, for serving (Optional)

Directions

1. Get a sheet of wax paper and put it on your kitchen counter.
Rinse each chop with cold water then place them on the wax paper. Get a few paper towels to dry them off individually until they are no longer wet and set chops aside.

2. 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.

3. 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 tablespoons of oil in an enormous 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 with lemon wedges.

Notes: Since, my chops were thin I cooked them for about 2-3 minutes. But, if you’re cooking thicker chops you need to cook them for 15 to 20 minutes until a meat thermometer reaches to the internal temperature of 145° F. (medium rare) and 160° F. (medium)

I pray for you often that God would help your confidence with cooking continue to grow.
