Provided by NicoleMcmom

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

cooking spray
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon water
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
4 (5 ounce) bone-in, center-cut pork chops
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly coat a wire rack with cooking spray and set in a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Whisk eggs and water together in a shallow dish. Place bread crumbs in a second shallow dish.
  • Season pork chops evenly with salt and pepper. Dip and coat chops in egg, allow excess to drip off, then dip in bread crumbs until well coated.
  • Heat 1/2 of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place 2 chops in the skillet and cook until golden and crisp, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until crisp on the other side, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer to the prepared rack. Heat remaining oil in the skillet and repeat to sear remaining chops.
  • Bake pork chops in preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, 10 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 155 degrees F (68 degrees C).

BREADED PORK CHOPS



Breaded Pork Chops image

This recipe is a little different from others in that it uses worcestershire sauce in the egg mix. We love how it gives the chops a little extra "zing." We usually have this with a green vegetable and potatoes. I've also listed a variation of this recipe to make a cheese-topped pork chop. Note: If you're making the chops without cheese, you might want to try learninscratch's directions for a delicious orange sauce -- they can be found in her review.

Categories     Pork

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • For oven-baked pork chops: Prepare as directed above. Place in a shallow baking pan that has been sprayed with a cooking oil such as Pam. Bake at 425 degrees F. for 30-35 minutes or until no longer pink in center.

PAN-FRIED BREADED PORK CHOPS



Pan-Fried Breaded Pork Chops image

Look for beautiful good-quality pork, such as Berkshire, and ask for center-cut loin chops with bone. For the bread crumbs, use day-old firm white sandwich bread or French loaf, cubed and whirled in a food processor, for about three cups of soft, fluffy crumbs. Dry, fine store-bought crumbs will not yield the same result. Make sure to fry these chops very gently over medium-high heat, to allow the bread-crumb coating to brown slowly, creating a crisp, golden crust. Serve with a tart salad or braised greens, such as broccoli rabe.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     meat, steaks and chops, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 (8-ounce) center-cut pork chops, about 1/2-inch thick
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup milk
Small pinch of cayenne powder
All-purpose flour, for sprinkling
3 cups fresh bread crumbs (from 8 slices crustless day-old sandwich bread)
1 cup clarified butter, extra-virgin olive oil or lard, plus more as needed
Lemon wedges, for garnish

Steps:

  • Lay pork chops on a baking sheet, and season well on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Combine eggs and milk in a low, flat bowl. Season with salt, pepper and the small pinch of cayenne.
  • Sprinkle flour generously over the chops on both sides, then shake off excess.
  • Submerge the floured chops in the egg mixture, and turn them over several times to coat well. Leave chops in egg mixture for 5 minutes.
  • Use your left hand to remove a chop from the batter and drain off excess liquid. Place chop on a baking sheet and, with your right hand, heavily sprinkle with bread crumbs on both sides. Repeat with remaining chops.
  • Sprinkle each chop again with crumbs, patting with your hand to make sure crumbs adhere and coat well. Refrigerate, uncovered, until ready to fry.
  • Set a wide cast-iron or other heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add clarified butter to a depth of 1/2 inch. When butter is hot, lay in the chops without crowding, and let them fry very gently, about 4 to 5 minutes per side, until beautifully golden brown. (Turn down heat if they seem to be browning too fast.) If your pan is small, cook in 2 batches and keep finished chops warm in a 250-degree oven.
  • Blot cooked chops on paper towels. Transfer to a warm platter or individual plates. Serve with lemon wedges.

BREADED BAKED PORK CHOPS

This is a great, basic recipe for breaded baked pork chops. Feel free to experiment with different seasonings and breading. We just did a batch using honey-wheat bread crumbs which gave a slightly sweet taste that balanced our chosen Cajun seasoning.

Provided by Weez

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Pork     Pork Chop Recipes     Baked

Time 1h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 pork chop cutlets
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
2 cups dry bread crumbs
¼ cup olive oil
aluminum foil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Season pork chops with garlic powder and seasoning salt. Dredge chops in flour; shake off excess. Dip into beaten egg. Lift up so excess egg drips back in the bowl. Press into bread crumbs to coat both sides. Place the breaded chops, unstacked, onto a plate.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium-heat. Cook pork chops in hot oil until breading appears well browned, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer pork chops to a 9x13-inch baking dish and cover with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until pork chops are cooked through, 60 to 90 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
