Parmesan-Crusted Pork Chops

Recipe Courtesy of Giada De Laurentiis

2 large eggs

1 cup dried Italian-style bread crumbs

¾ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

4 (½ - to ¾ -inch-thick) center-cut pork loin chops

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

6 tablespoons olive oil

Lemon wedges

In a pie plate, whisk the eggs to blend. Place the bread crumbs in another pie plate. Place the cheese in a third pie plate. Sprinkle the pork chops generously with salt and pepper. Coat the chops completely with the cheese, patting to adhere. Dip the chops into the eggs, then coat completely with the bread crumbs, patting to adhere.

Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in each of 3 large, heavy skillets over medium heat. Add 2 pork chops to each skillet and cook until golden brown and just cooked through about 5 minutes per side. Transfer the chops to plates and serve with garnish wedges.

Serves 4.
