Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 4 piece bone-in pork chops (about 6 ounces each) trim excess fat and pat dry
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup plain breadcrumbs panko gives extra crunch
  • 2 large eggs lightly beaten
  • 2 tbsp olive oil for brushing
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp paprika smoked paprika optional
  • 1 tsp kosher salt adjust to taste
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper freshly ground

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a shallow baking dish.
  • In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. In another bowl, combine grated Parmesan, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • Season the pork chops on both sides with a little additional salt and pepper. Dip each chop into the beaten eggs, letting excess drip off, then press into the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture to coat both sides firmly.
  • Place the coated chops on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with olive oil to encourage browning.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and the crust is golden. For a crispier top, broil for 1 to 2 minutes at the end—watch closely to avoid burning.
  • Remove the pork chops from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with lemon wedges or your favorite side dish.

Notes

For best results, use bone-in chops about 1 inch thick. Panko breadcrumbs produce a lighter, crunchier crust. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days.
