CRUNCHY BAKED PORK CHOPS
Steps:
- 1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Dissolve 1/4 cup salt in 1 quart water in medium container or gallon-sized zipper-lock bag. Submerge chops, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate 30 minutes. Rinse chops under cold water and dry thoroughly with paper towels. 2. Meanwhile, pulse bread in food processor until coarsely ground, about eight 1-second pulses (you should have about 3 1/2 cups crumbs). Transfer crumbs to rimmed baking sheet and add shallot, garlic, oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Toss until crumbs are evenly coated with oil. Bake until deep golden brown and dry, about 15 minutes, stirring twice during baking time. (Do not turn off oven.) Cool to room temperature. Toss crumbs with Parmesan, thyme, and parsley. 3. Place 1/4 cup flour in pie plate. In second pie plate, whisk egg whites and mustard until combined; add remaining 6 tablespoons flour and whisk until almost smooth, with pea-sized lumps remaining. 4. Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees. Spray wire rack with nonstick cooking spray and place in rimmed baking sheet. Season chops with pepper. Dredge 1 pork chop in flour; shake off excess. Using tongs, coat with egg mixture; let excess drip off. Coat all sides of chop with bread crumb mixture, pressing gently so that thick layer of crumbs adheres to chop. Transfer breaded chop to wire rack. Repeat with remaining 3 chops. 5. Bake until instant-read thermometer inserted into center of chops registers 150 degrees, 17 to 25 minutes. Let rest on rack 5 minutes before serving with lemon wedges.
Tips:
- Choose the right pork chops: Look for pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that they stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
- Season the pork chops well: Pork chops can easily become bland if they are not properly seasoned. Be sure to season them generously with salt, pepper, and other spices before cooking.
- Cook the pork chops over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the pork chops while keeping the inside juicy and tender.
- Do not overcook the pork chops: Pork chops are best when they are cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooking will make them dry and tough.
- Let the pork chops rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making them even more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Crunchy baked pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. By following the tips above, you can ensure that your pork chops turn out perfectly every time. Serve them with your favorite sides and enjoy!
