PAN-FRIED BREADED PORK CHOPS
Look for beautiful good-quality pork, such as Berkshire, and ask for center-cut loin chops with bone. For the bread crumbs, use day-old firm white sandwich bread or French loaf, cubed and whirled in a food processor, for about three cups of soft, fluffy crumbs. Dry, fine store-bought crumbs will not yield the same result. Make sure to fry these chops very gently over medium-high heat, to allow the bread-crumb coating to brown slowly, creating a crisp, golden crust. Serve with a tart salad or braised greens, such as broccoli rabe.

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.

Steps:
- Put the flour in a shallow dish. Break the eggs into another shallow bowl and whisk with 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Mix the breadcrumbs with the oregano and thyme in a third shallow bowl.
- Dredge a pork chop in the flour, shaking off the excess, dip it into the eggs and then coat evenly with the breadcrumbs. Set aside on a piece of wax paper or baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining pork 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 until golden brown and crispy, 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels briefly. Serve hot with cooked spinach and lemon wedges.

Steps:
- Season pork all over with salt and pepper. Set 3 wide, shallow bowls on a work surface. Add flour to the first one; beaten eggs to the second; and panko, Parmesan cheese, and sage to the third. Season panko and Parmesan with salt and pepper and mix thoroughly.
- Fill a large cast iron skillet or straight-sided sauté pan with 1/4 inch oil or clarified butter. (To speed things up even more, use 2 skillets simultaneously.) Heat cooking fat over high heat until shimmering and just shy of smoking. A bread crumb dropped in it should sizzle and foam immediately.

Tips
- Choose the right pork chops: Look for pork chops that are about 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that the chops are tender and flavorful.
- Brine the pork chops: Brining the pork chops in a mixture of water, salt, and sugar will help to tenderize them and add flavor. You can brine the pork chops for anywhere from 30 minutes to overnight.
- Use a good breading: The breading is what gives the pork chops their crispy coating. Make sure to use a breading that is flavorful and adheres well to the pork chops.
- Fry the pork chops in hot oil: The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when the pork chops are added. This will help to create a crispy coating and prevent the pork chops from sticking to the pan.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When frying the pork chops, make sure to not overcrowd the pan. This will help to ensure that the pork chops cook evenly.
- Cook the pork chops until they are done: The pork chops are done when they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. You can use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature.

Breaded southern fried pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. By following these tips, you can make sure that your pork chops are tender, flavorful, and crispy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give these breaded southern fried pork chops a try.
