Baked Pork Chop with Parmesan
Ingredients
6 pork chops (center loin pork chops, 3/4 inch thick cut)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour (seasoned with salt and pepper and other spices to you liking)
1 large egg (+ 1 tbsp water whisked together)
1 cup Panko crumbs
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Directions:
Step 1 : Mix the Parmesan with the panko crumbs. Dredge the pork chops in the flour, then dip in the egg wash and finally in the panko crumbs.
Step 2 : Place the chops on a lightly oiled baking sheet and mist or drizzle the tops with a little olive oil.
Step 3 : Bake for about 35 minutes in a preheated 375 degree F oven. I like to flip them over half way through the cooking time.
Step 4 : Use a meat thermometer to check that the center of the pork hops has reached 145 degrees F. Let the chops rest for 5 minutes before serving.
