Crispy Parmesan Pork Chops
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Boneless pork chops | 8 (½-inch thick) |
| Eggs | 2, beaten |
| Garlic salt | 1 tbsp |
| Black pepper | To taste |
| Milk | 3 tbsp |
| Panko breadcrumbs | 1 cup |
| Parmesan cheese, grated | 2 cups |
| Lemon pepper | 1 tsp |
| Dry onion powder | 1 tsp |
| Italian seasoning | ½ tsp |
| Butter, melted | 2 tbsp |
Instructions
Prepare the Oven and Pan
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with foil, lightly grease it, and place a rack on top. Spray the rack to prevent sticking.
Make the Egg Wash
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Prepare the Coating
In a shallow dish, mix the panko breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, lemon pepper, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and a light pinch of garlic salt.
Coat the Pork Chops
Season the pork chops lightly with garlic salt. Dip each chop into the egg mixture, then press firmly into the breadcrumb mixture until fully coated. Arrange on the prepared rack.
Bake with Butter
Drizzle melted butter over each pork chop and a small amount onto the foil beneath. Bake for 30 minutes, check doneness, then flip and bake an additional 5–10 minutes until golden and the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
Serve and Enjoy
Let the pork chops rest briefly before serving. Pair with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a crisp salad for a complete meal.
