ASIAGO CRUSTED PORK CHOP RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Trim pork of any fat. Place between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and pound (using a meat mallet, rolling pin, or small heavy skillet) to about 1/4 inch thickness. Separate egg white from the yolk and place in a shallow dish. Beat the egg white with a little bit of water so that it is easy to dip the pork. In another shallow dish combine panko, cheese, salt, and pepper. Dip pork in egg white mixture and then dredge in the panko mixture, pressing down to coat evenly. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Careful place pork into the skillet and cook 3 - 4 minutes on each side or until lightly golden (if you are using a meat thermometer to check for doneness the pork should reach an internal temperature of 160-170 degrees Fahrenheit). Remove pork to a plate or serving platter. Squeeze 1 lemon wedge over each pork chop and sprinkle with chopped thyme. Serve with a green vegetable for a "springy" dish. Even if it's as dreary outside at your house today as it is at mine!

BALSAMIC PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Pat pork chops dry with paper towels, and season with salt and pepper.
• Melt butter in a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and stir to combine.
• When butter and oil shimmer, carefully add chops and cook over medium heat until browned on one side, 5 to 6 minutes. Turn and cook pork chops until no longer pink in the center and browned on the other side, 3 to 4 minutes. Do not overcook the chops or they will turn dry and hard. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
• Remove pork chops from heat and cover to keep warm.
• Combine chicken broth, balsamic vinegar, and honey in a small saucepan. Bring glaze to a boil over medium-high heat and boil until mixture is reduced to 1/2 cup, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Drizzle pan-fried chops with balsamic glaze and serve warm.

PANKO PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Place beaten eggs on a large plate.
• Mix flour, seasoned salt, garlic powder, and black pepper on another plate. Spread out panko bread crumbs on a third plate.
• Dip pork chops in egg, then in flour, again in egg, and finally in panko. Press lightly on pork chops so that the panko adheres. Set aside and let rest while oil is heated.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add pork chops and cook uncovered until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip pork chops over and cook until no longer pink in the center, 3 to 4 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
