Parmesan-Crusted Pork Chops


INGREDIENTS

2 large eggs
1 cup dried Italian-style bread crumbs
¾ cups Parmesan, freshly grated
¾ inch center-cut pork loin chops, (each about 10 to 12 oz)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 Tbsp olive oil
1 wedges lemon, for serving

DIRECTIONS

1. Whisk the eggs in a pie plate to blend. Place the bread crumbs in another pie plate. Place the cheese in a third pie plate. Sprinkle the pork chops generously with salt and pepper. Coat the chops completely with the cheese, patting to adhere. Dip the chops into the eggs, then coat completely with the bread crumbs, patting to adhere.
2. Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a very large skillet over medium heat. Add pork chops, in batches if necessary, and cook until golden brown and the center reaches 150ºF, about 6 minutes per side. Transfer the chops to plates and serve with lemon wedges.
