Place the pork chops on a cutting board and gently pound them with a meat mallet to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch, if needed.
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes. Place flour in the first dish. In the second dish, whisk together eggs and milk until smooth. In the third dish, combine the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
Season the pork chops evenly on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Dredge each pork chop in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated, then press it into the breadcrumb mixture, coating both sides evenly. Set the breaded pork chops aside on a plate.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is hot but not smoking.
Carefully place the breaded pork chops in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the coating is golden brown and the pork chops are cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F/63°C).
Remove the cooked pork chops from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve immediately with a wedge of lemon for squeezing over the pork chops. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
