Exact Ingredients List (+ Possible Substitutes)
I love this parmesan crusted pork chop recipe because it’s so versatile. Here’s my go-to list of pork chop ingredients:
- 4 boneless pork chops (¾ inch thick)
- ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2-3 tablespoons Italian breadcrumbs
- ⅛ teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
For the parmesan coating, I mix the cheese, breadcrumbs, and spices. This seasoning blend gives the pork chops a delicious flavor and crispy texture.
- Bone-in pork chops instead of boneless
- Panko breadcrumbs for extra crunch
- Fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme
- Different seasoning blends like Cajun or Italian
Want extra crispy pork chops? Beat an egg and dip the chops in it before coating. This helps the parmesan mixture stick better, creating a perfect crust.
Instructions
Are you ready to make parmesan crusted pork chops? Let’s get started with the cooking method! First, mix grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, and your favorite seasonings in a shallow dish. This mix will make your taste buds happy.
Then, coat each pork chop with this tasty mix, pressing it on both sides. For extra crispiness, dip the chops in whisked egg before coating. Now, heat some olive oil in a pan and cook the chops for about 5 minutes on each side until they’re golden brown.
Now, it’s time for baking. Put the seared chops in a baking dish and bake at 350°F. They’ll cook for 15-20 minutes. Always use a meat thermometer to check if they’re done. We’re looking for an internal temperature of 145°F.
- Mix Parmesan, breadcrumbs, and seasonings
- Coat pork chops in mixture
- Sear in olive oil for 5 minutes per side
- Bake at 350°F for 15-20 minutes
- Check internal temperature reaches 145°F
For crispier results, bake the chops on a greased wire rack over a baking sheet. This lets hot air go all around, making a crispy crust. Follow these steps and enjoy delicious parmesan crusted pork chops soon!
Tips, Tricks & Storing
I have some tips to make your pork chops perfect. Let the chops rest for 3-5 minutes after cooking. This keeps them juicy. Use a meat thermometer to check if they are done.
For extra crispy chops, put them under the broiler for a minute or two after baking.
Storing leftovers is easy. Put your extra pork chops in an airtight container. They’ll stay good in the fridge for up to 3 days. If you want to keep them longer, freeze them for up to 2 months.
Remember to thaw them in the fridge overnight before reheating.
For reheating, heat your oven to 350°F. Place the pork chops on a baking sheet and warm them for 10-15 minutes. This method keeps the crust crispy and the meat tender. It’s like having a fresh-cooked meal all over again!
