Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 boneless loin pork chops about 3/4-inch thick
- 3/4 cup dry breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Pinch of garlic and/or onion powder optional
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons milk
- Vegetable oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Trim any excess fat from around the edges of the pork chops and place them between 2 sheets of plastic wrap. Gently pound them to an even thickness of about 5/8-inch and set aside.
- Whisk the egg and milk together in a shallow dish (a pie plate works well) and spread the breadcrumbs on a plate or sheet of wax paper. Add the salt, pepper and other seasonings to the breadcrumbs and use your fingers to combine thoroughly.
- One at a time, dip the chops in the egg mixture, then into the crumbs, pressing firmly to be sure you have a nice coating.
- Coat the bottom of an oven-proof frying pan with oil and place over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops to the pan in a single layer and fry just long enough for the crumbs to crisp and turn golden brown, 1 to 1-1/2 minutes per side.
- Transfer the pan to the oven and bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest chop registers 140°F, about 5 minutes.
