Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil or line it with parchment paper.
Set up three separate bowls: one with all-purpose flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, sage, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to remove any moisture, which helps the coating stick.
Dredge each pork chop in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing the excess to drip back into the bowl. Finally, coat the chops evenly in the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating adheres well.
Place the coated pork chops on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) when checked with a meat thermometer. For extra crispiness, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end.
Remove the pork chops from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving to help the juices redistribute.
Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
