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 Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Olive oil or avocado oil
Instructions
Begin by patting the pork chops dry with paper towels. This helps the coating adhere better.
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to distribute the spices evenly.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until smooth.
Dip each pork chop into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
Transfer the egg-coated pork chop to the almond flour mixture, pressing down to ensure a good layer of the coating adheres to both sides. Shake off any excess.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Use enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan well.
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the pork chops to the skillet. Avoid overcrowding the pan; if necessary, do this in batches.
Fry the pork chops for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy. The internal temperature should read 145°F (63°C) when done.
Remove the cooked pork chops from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy bite.
Serve hot and enjoy your delicious and crispy Keto-friendly pork chops!
