Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops (1 inch thick)
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh sage leaves, finely chopped
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Set aside.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: In the first bowl, add the flour. In the second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth. In the third bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, Panko breadcrumbs, chopped sage, garlic powder, and remaining 0.5 teaspoon of salt.
Dredge each pork chop in the flour, shaking off the excess. Then dip it in the egg mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated. Finally, press it into the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture, making sure the pork chop is fully coated.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and the skillet is hot, add the breaded pork chops. Sear for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Do not overcrowd the skillet; cook in batches if necessary.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake the pork chops for 10-12 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 the Parmesan Sage Pork Chops with lemon wedges on the side for a burst of brightness.
