Garlic - Parmesan Crusted Pork Chops Preparation

Spread Parmesan cheese in a shallow dish. Beat eggs with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in another shallow dish. Spread bread crumbs in a third shallow dish.

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Combine salt, pepper, sage, and thyme, and sprinkle generously over both sides of chops, pressing seasonings into meat with your fingers. Bread pork chops one at a time. Dredge seasoned chops in Parmesan cheese, coating both sides completely, patting to adhere. Then, using tongs, carefully dip both sides of chops in egg mixture, letting excess drip back into dish to ensure thin coating. Finally, dip both sides of chops in bread crumbs, pressing crumbs with fingers to form an even, cohesive coating. Place breaded chops on wire rack set over baking sheet, allow coating to dry for about 5 minutes. (The recipe can be done ahead to this point; cover chops loosely with wax paper and refrigerate for up to one hour.)

Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-low heat with enough olive oil to come halfway up the sides of the chops, about 1/4 cup. To flavor oil; stir in garlic, and cook until lightly browned. Remove garlic from skillet and discard or reserve for other uses. Increase heat to medium. When oil shimmers, add chops and fry 4 to 5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy, or to an internal temperature between 150 and 160 degrees F. Drain on rack set over baking sheet, then transfer to a warm serving platter. Serve with lemon wedges and garnish with parsley sprigs.

	TokiWartooth I loved this! The seasoning and flavorings are interchangeable and adjustable, but the crust is fantastic and the parmesan was a really nice addition. Cooking the garlic in oil to infuse the flavor is a really cool idea too. I will definitely do this again and I think next time I will make a tasty sandwich with this recipe as a general guideline. 20 hours, 32 minutes ago
	Trishkie Excellent! Will definitely make again! Adjusted to 1 chop & to what had on hand (ground sage in lieu of rubbed, unseasoned bread crumbs & dropped the lemon & parsley). I'm not a fan of fried foods, but will make this exception. 1 days, 19 hours, 47 minutes ago
	Britanytapani These pork chops were pretty good but I've had better. Maybe it was just the pork or maybe it was the way they were prepared but the meat was pretty tough. It seems like maybe I would have better luck frying just until browned and then finish off in the oven... 1 weeks, 16 hours, 21 minutes ago

	heather-hurley delicious. but be careful not to add too much salt if you use the garlic seasoned bread crumbs. Pork is already kind of salty! 3 weeks, 3 days, 18 hours, 54 minutes ago

Pan-fry chops in garlic infused oil, over medium heat, until golden brown and crispy -- remember that "more heat" when pan frying isn’t always best. (Thicker chops, or chops that brown to quickly, may need to be finished in the oven.) - photo by sgrishka

Golden brown and crispy pork chops that are packed with big flavors and sure to impress your family and friends. The cheese and bread crumbs give these juicy chops a fantastic crust, and the flavors will go with almost any side dish you choose! - photo by sgrishka
