Categories     Pork

Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Table salt
4 boneless center-cut pork chops, 6 to 8 ounces each, 3/4 to 1 inch thick, trimmed of excess fat
4 slices hearty white sandwich bread, torn into 1-inch pieces
1 small shallot, minced (about 2 tablespoons)
3 medium garlic cloves, minced or pressed through garlic press (about 1 tablespoon)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Ground black pepper
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh thyme leaves
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley leaves
1/4 cup plus 6 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
3 large egg whites
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Lemon wedges

Steps:

  • 1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Dissolve 1/4 cup salt in 1 quart water in medium container or gallon-sized zipper-lock bag. Submerge chops, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate 30 minutes. Rinse chops under cold water and dry thoroughly with paper towels. 2. Meanwhile, pulse bread in food processor until coarsely ground, about eight 1-second pulses (you should have about 3 1/2 cups crumbs). Transfer crumbs to rimmed baking sheet and add shallot, garlic, oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Toss until crumbs are evenly coated with oil. Bake until deep golden brown and dry, about 15 minutes, stirring twice during baking time. (Do not turn off oven.) Cool to room temperature. Toss crumbs with Parmesan, thyme, and parsley. 3. Place 1/4 cup flour in pie plate. In second pie plate, whisk egg whites and mustard until combined; add remaining 6 tablespoons flour and whisk until almost smooth, with pea-sized lumps remaining. 4. Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees. Spray wire rack with nonstick cooking spray and place in rimmed baking sheet. Season chops with pepper. Dredge 1 pork chop in flour; shake off excess. Using tongs, coat with egg mixture; let excess drip off. Coat all sides of chop with bread crumb mixture, pressing gently so that thick layer of crumbs adheres to chop. Transfer breaded chop to wire rack. Repeat with remaining 3 chops. 5. Bake until instant-read thermometer inserted into center of chops registers 150 degrees, 17 to 25 minutes. Let rest on rack 5 minutes before serving with lemon wedges.

These pork chops were delicious! The coating was crispy and flavorful, and the pork was cooked perfectly. I served them with mashed potatoes and green beans, and it was a delicious meal.

These pork chops were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would use less salt next time, or maybe omit it altogether.

I love this recipe! The pork chops are always cooked perfectly, and the coating is so crispy and flavorful. I usually serve them with mashed potatoes and green beans, but they would also be great with rice or pasta.

These pork chops were easy to make and turned out great! I used panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs, and they added a nice crunch. I also added a bit of garlic powder and onion powder to the breadcrumb mixture for extra flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly, and my pork chops turned out perfectly! They were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. I served them with mashed potatoes and green beans, and it was a delicious meal.

These pork chops were a bit dry for my taste. I think I would add some more moisture next time, maybe by using a different type of breadcrumb or by adding some sauce.
