Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs (panko recommended)
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a wire rack.
Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with half the salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, mix the Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Spread the mustard mixture evenly over both sides of the pork chops.
Set up a dredging station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, the second with beaten eggs, and the third with breadcrumbs mixed with grated Parmesan cheese.
Dredge each pork chop in the flour, shaking off the excess. Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated. Finally, press it into the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture, coating both sides evenly.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Transfer the seared pork chops to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the pork chops from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your choice of side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a crisp salad.
