Breaded Pork Chops For Two Recipes

BREADED PORK CHOPS IN 30 MINUTES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400° convection or 425° conventional.
• Trim pork chop of the fat rim. Pat dry with a paper towel.
• Prepare two trays. First, with one egg whipped with a teaspoon of water. Second, with 1/4 cup of Panko Bread Crumbs, 1/4 cup flour, 1 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt (Lawry's is my choice), and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
• Dredge a chop in the egg mixture. Be sure to cover all surfaces. Remove with a fork and allow to drain for a moment.
• Dip the egg-coated pork chop into the flour mixture. Coat all sides, remove with a fork and shake to remove extra flour.
• Set the chop on a plate or chopping board. Repeat for the next chop. We want to coat to set up for a few minutes.
• Over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to an oven-safe, non-stick skillet-cast iron preferred. When hot and the oil is shimmering, move the chops to the pan with a fork.
• Brown each side of the chop for 2-3 minutes until almost the final color you want. Use a fork to flip by poking the meat edge and not anything to grab the meat and pull off the coating.
• Check the internal temperature, do one last flip of the pork, and place in the preheated oven until the internal temperature you want. About 10 minutes for 145° but this will vary a lot in time, so you must use a meat thermometer and get the final temperature you want. Remember, you can always cook more but can not uncook meat.
• Allow to rest on a plate for 5 minutes before cutting.

• Bread the chops. Dredge a chop in the flour, shaking off the excess, then dip it into the eggs, and finally coat the meat evenly with the breadcrumbs. Set on a piece of waxed paper or baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining chops. Heat a large skillet over medium heat with enough oil to come halfway up the sides of the chops, about 1/4 cup. When the oil shimmers, add the chops and fry 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels and serve immediately with lemon wedges.

Flip and cook until crisp on the other side, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer to the prepared rack. Heat remaining oil in the skillet and repeat to sear remaining chops.

In batches, season pork chops with salt and pepper and coat in egg mixture. Gently shake to remove excess, then dredge in breadcrumbs, pressing to adhere. Freeze pork chops (see below).
• To serve, heat broiler. Place a rimmed baking sheet in broiler to heat. For each frozen chop, combine 1 1/2 teaspoons melted butter and 1 1/2 teaspoons oil; brush on both sides. For each batch of two, place chops on sheet and broil until both sides are deep golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes, flipping halfway through.

PAN-FRIED BREADED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Lay pork chops on a baking sheet, and season well on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Combine eggs and milk in a low, flat bowl. Season with salt, pepper and the small pinch of cayenne.
• Sprinkle flour generously over the chops on both sides, then shake off excess.
• Submerge the floured chops in the egg mixture, and turn them over several times to coat well. Leave chops in egg mixture for 5 minutes.
• Use your left hand to remove a chop from the batter and drain off excess liquid. Place chop on a baking sheet and, with your right hand, heavily sprinkle with bread crumbs on both sides. Repeat with remaining chops.
• Sprinkle each chop again with crumbs, patting with your hand to make sure crumbs adhere and coat well. Refrigerate, uncovered, until ready to fry.
• Set a wide cast-iron or other heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add clarified butter to a depth of 1/2 inch. When butter is hot, lay in the chops without crowding, and let them fry very gently, about 4 to 5 minutes per side, until beautifully golden brown. (Turn down heat if they seem to be browning too fast.) If your pan is small, cook in 2 batches and keep finished chops warm in a 250-degree oven.
• Blot cooked chops on paper towels. Transfer to a warm platter or individual plates. Serve with lemon wedges.
