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.

This a great pan- sear pork chop made with no egg mixture. Most times you dip in the egg and then dredge. We needed one without egg and this fits the bill. It is geared to be a how to for the newer cook. Being a basic recipe it can be altered to suit anyone's taste. I feed the kids these chops made this way and they gobble them up-no convincing needed.

Tips:
- Choose the right pork chops. Look for center-cut, bone-in pork chops that are about 1 inch thick. These will cook evenly and stay juicy.
- Season the pork chops well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. You can also add other spices, such as paprika, cumin, or chili powder, to taste.
- Sear the pork chops over high heat. This will create a nice crust and help to keep the juices in.
- Reduce the heat and cook the pork chops until they are cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork chops. They are done when they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the pork chops rest before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making them more tender and flavorful.
