ITALIAN BREADED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Pre heat oven to 375° (190°). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
• On a large plate mix together the bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, salt and parsley, coat the pork chops very well with the crumb mixture one at a time, place on prepared baking sheet, sprinkle lightly with salt (pinch) and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
• Bake in pre heated oven for approximately 30-35 minutes**, halfway through baking turn the chops over, and sprinkle with any extra crumbs. In the last 5 minutes I raised the temperature to 390°/200°, for extra browning. Let the chops sit 3-5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
• ** Pork needs to be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.

CRISPY BREADED PORK CHOPS (BAKED)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a shallow bowl combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and salt and black pepper.
• Season flour on a shallow plate with salt to taste. In another shallow bowl add the whisked egg.
• Dab the pork chops dry with a paper towel and lightly dredge in flour. Dip the pork chop into the egg, making sure to coat all sides. Dip the pork chop into the bread crumb mixture.
• Heat olive oil In a frying pan over medium-high heat. Brown pork chops for 1 minute per side.
• Add to the prepared baking sheet and bake for about 12-14 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F. Do not overbake.

ITALIAN BREADED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, beat together the eggs, the milk, 1/2 tsp of the salt and 1/2 tsp of the pepper. In a separate small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, parsley and remaining 1/2 tsp of salt and 1/2 tsp pepper.
• Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Dip each pork chop into the egg mixture, then into the bread crumb mixture, coating evenly. Place coated pork chops in the skillet, and brown abut 4 to 6 minutes on each side.
• If using a meat thermometer, check the internal temperature and cook until they reach 135 F degrees. Transfer pork chops to a cutting board and let them rest for 10 minutes before slicing into them. The residual heat will bring the temperature up to 145 F degrees.

CRISPY PAN-FRIED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Put the flour in a shallow dish. Break the eggs into another shallow bowl and whisk with 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Mix the breadcrumbs with the oregano and thyme in a third shallow bowl.
• Dredge a pork chop in the flour, shaking off the excess, dip it into the eggs and then coat evenly with the breadcrumbs. Set aside on a piece of wax paper or baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining pork chops.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat with enough oil to come halfway up the sides of the chops (about 1/4 cup). When the oil shimmers, add the chops and fry until golden brown and crispy, 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels briefly. Serve hot with cooked spinach and lemon wedges.

PORK CUTLETS PARMIGIANA

Steps:

• Pound each slice of pork on a flat surface with a meat pounder or a mallet to about 1/4-inch thick. (Properly pounded slices will look like veal scallopini.)
• Place the egg, water, cumin, rosemary and salt and pepper in a mixing bowl, and beat well. Place the bread crumbs on a flat dish.
• Dip the pork slices in the egg mixture to coat and then dip in the bread crumbs. Pat lightly with the flat side of a kitchen knife to help the crumbs to adhere.
• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a saucepan and add the garlic and onions. Cook, stirring for one minute; do not brown. Add the tomatoes, oregano, salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes.
• In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and place as many cutlets as possible in one layer. When the slices are golden brown on one side, about 3 minutes, cook on the other side for 3 minutes. As the pieces are done, transfer them to a heated platter. Add more oil, if necessary, to the skillet, and continue cooking the rest of the slices in the same manner.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• In a baking dish large enough to hold the cutlets in one layer, spoon a little sauce over the bottom, add the cutlets, spoon more tomato sauce on top and cover each cutlet with mozzarella cheese. Add the remaining sauce. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the dish and bake until piping hot and cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.
