Breakfast Pork Chops Recipes

PAN FRIED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Salt and pepper both sides of the pork chops.
• Combine the flour and some cayenne, salt and black pepper. Dredge each side of the pork chops in the flour mixture, and then set aside on a plate.
• Heat the canola oil over medium to medium-high heat. Add the butter. When the butter is melted and the butter/oil mixture is hot, cook 3 pork chops at a time, 2 to 3 minutes on the first side. Flip and cook until the chops are golden brown on the other side, 1 to 2 minutes (make sure no pink juices remain). Remove to a plate and repeat with the remaining pork chops.
• Delicious and simple! Serve with smashed new potatoes.

BREAKFAST PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Brine the pork chops the night before: Combine 3 cups hot water, the vinegar, brown sugar, 1/4 cup salt, the garlic, sage and cayenne in a large bowl, stirring until the sugar and salt dissolve; let cool to room temperature. Submerge the pork chops in the brine, cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Remove the pork from the brine and pat dry. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the pork chops and cook until browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side (reduce the heat, if necessary). Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and pork chops; transfer to the plate.
• Sprinkle the flour over the drippings in the skillet and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until lightly golden, about 45 seconds. Add the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits; switch to a whisk and cook, whisking, until the sauce begins to thicken, about 2 minutes. Add the milk, parsley, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper to taste and simmer 1 minute. Return the pork chops to the skillet along with any juices from the plate and heat through, about 2 minutes.

Steps:

• Trim strip of fat from outside edge of chops, this feeds 2-4 people, depending on how much you like meat.
• Pound chops slightly if needed.
• Preheat oil in frying pan (you don't need much since these are thin chops).
• Beat eggs in a bowl.
• Add 3/4 cup of the flour to a pie pan. Mix in salt and pepper, garlic powder, onion powder.
• Dip chops in egg, then dredge in flour.
• Fry on each side until they turn a rich brown color.
• If you'd like add additional salt and pepper while they're frying.
• Remove from pan and drain on a paper towel.
• For Gravy:.
• Remove all but 1 or 1 1/2 T. of grease from the pan (leave all the crunchy pieces too, those add great flavor).
• Add about 1/4 cup of flour and stir with whisk (add more 1 T. at a time as needed to absorb grease), keep heat on medium. Allow the flour to brown slightly (usually takes just a minute).
• Add warmed milk 1/2 cup at a time while whisking viogourously to avoid lumps. So this until proper consistency is reached.
• Add more salt, pepper a garlic powder to gravy as desired.
