I’m usually not a fan of pork chops, but these came out very tender with a crunchy crust, so they were great. This a simple recipe that’s great for an easy yet special meal for two.
2 8-oz pork-chops
1 cup panko bread crumbs
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
Salt and pepper to taste
Trim the thick layer of fat around the chops, place them between two pieces of plastic wrap, and beat them with a meat mallet until they’re flattened and tender. Mix the breadcrumbs with the grated Parmesan, and in a different bowl, beat the egg with the mustard, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Coat each chop in the egg mixture, shake them off a bit, and then press them into the breadcrumbs and cheese. You’ll likely have to fry them in two separate pans. Fry them on high heat in about half to three-quarters inches of vegetable oil for 4-5 minutes on each side or until the breadcrumbs are a deep golden-brown.
Mmm..that looks delicious!
I tried this recipe with my boyfriend, and it was great! I don’t even like pork chops usually, but this was delicious. Thanks, Healthy Epicure!
