Description
A recipe for pork chops coated in crispy bread crumbs, pan-fried until golden brown.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless pork chops (about 1/2 inch thick)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 1/2 cups seasoned bread crumbs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Place flour on one plate, beaten eggs on a second plate, and bread crumbs mixed with salt and pepper on a third plate.
- Dredge each pork chop in flour, shaking off excess.
- Dip the floured chop into the beaten egg, allowing excess to drip off.
- Coat the chop thoroughly in the bread crumbs, pressing lightly so crumbs adhere.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Carefully place pork chops in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
- Fry for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 145°F).
- Remove chops from the skillet and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, chill the breaded chops for 15 minutes before frying.
- You can substitute panko bread crumbs for a lighter texture.
- Adjust seasoning in the bread crumbs to your preference.
