Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel to remove any moisture.
In a shallow dish, mix together the almond flour, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the heavy cream.
Dip each pork chop into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated, and then dredge them in the almond flour mixture, pressing to adhere the coating well.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and starts to foam.
Carefully place the pork chops in the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan (cook in batches if necessary).
Fry each side for 4-5 minutes, until the coating is golden brown and the pork is cooked through to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Transfer the pork chops to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve hot with your choice of keto-friendly sides, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
