Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces pork chops Choose thickness based on preference.
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese Finely grated for extra crunch.
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs Can substitute with gluten-free breadcrumbs.
  • 2 pieces eggs Beaten.
  • Salt and pepper to taste Generously season.
  • Olive oil or cooking spray For baking or pan-searing.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) or heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper.
  3. In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs.
  4. In another bowl, mix the Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs.
  5. Dip each pork chop into the eggs, then coat with the cheese and breadcrumb mixture until fully covered.
Cooking
  1. If baking, place the coated pork chops on a greased baking sheet. If pan-searing, add olive oil to the skillet.
  2. Bake for about 20 minutes or cook in the skillet for about 4-5 minutes per side until the pork is cooked through and has a golden crust.
  3. Let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Serve alongside roasted vegetables or a light salad. Add fresh parsley or lemon for extra brightness. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
