Ingredients
- 2 eggs large
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs plain, regular or gluten-free
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp basil
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp onion powder
- ¾ cups Parmesan Cheese freshly grated from block cheese
- 4 center cut pork loin chops 10-12 ounces each, 1/2 to 3/4 inches thick
- light olive oil
- kosher salt to taste
- black pepper freshly ground, to taste
- Lemon wedges optional, for serving
Instructions
- Lightly beat eggs in a pie plate. In another pie plate, thoroughly combine Panko, oregano, basil, garlic powder, and onion powder. In a third pie plate, place freshly grated cheese.
- Sprinkle each pork chop lightly with kosher salt and pepper on both sides. Coat the chops completely with fresh cheese, pressing down to adhere. Dip pork chops into beaten eggs, and then completely coat with Panko mixture. Pat to adhere on both sides.
- Heat 4 TB oil in large heavy skillet (nonstick works well) over medium heat. Add pork chops one or two at a time (do not overcrowd), cooking uncovered until golden brown and 150F at center – about 6 min per side. Repeat with remaining chops. Transfer to plates and serve with lemon wedges, if desired.
