Categories     Pork

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 pork chops (1/2 inch thick, either bone in or boneless)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried rubbed sage
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
3/4 cup parmesan cheese (best if freshly grated)
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup seasoned dry bread crumb (we use italian style)
4 garlic cloves (chopped)
additional oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • Spread parmesan cheese in a shallow dish.
  • Beat eggs with the 1 tbls of olive oil in a separate shallow dish.
  • Spread bread crumbs in third shallow dish, pat pork chops dry with paper towel and set aside.
  • Combine salt, pepper, sage, thyme, and sprinkle generously over both sides of the chops. Press seasoning into meat with your fingers.
  • Dredge seasoned chops in parmesan cheese, coating both sides. Then using tongs dip chops in egg mixture and let excess drip off. Finally dip coated chops in bread crumbs. Press with fingers to ensure even coating.
  • Place breaded chops on wire rack set over a baking sheet to allow coating to dry for about 5 minutes.
  • Heat large skillet over medium-low heat with enough oil to come halfway up sides of chops. Stir in garlic and cook until lightly browned to season oil. Remove garlic and discard.
  • Increase heat to medium. Once oil is hot add chops and fry about 4-6 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
  • To keep crust in tact, drain any excess oil by placing chops on wire rack again.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Scallops: Select large, dry scallops with intact shells. Avoid any scallops that have a milky or slimy texture.
  • Properly Clean the Scallops: Remove the tough side muscle from the side of each scallop. Rinse the scallops thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels before cooking.
  • Seasoning is Key: Use a combination of garlic, parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper to create a flavorful crust for the scallops. You can also add herbs like parsley or thyme for extra flavor.
  • Use High Heat: Sear the scallops over high heat to create a nice crust. This will help to lock in the juices and prevent the scallops from becoming rubbery.
  • Don't Overcook: Scallops cook quickly, so it's important to not overcook them. Cook them for about 2 minutes per side, or until they are just cooked through.
  • Serve Immediately: Grilled garlic parmesan crusted scallops are best served immediately, while they are still hot and juicy.

Conclusion:

Grilled garlic parmesan crusted scallops are a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish that is perfect for any occasion. With a crispy, flavorful crust and tender, juicy interior, these scallops are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. Serve them as an appetizer or main course, and enjoy the burst of flavor in every bite!
