Description:
I developed this recipe, which makes the most delicious pan-fried, breaded pork chops. I used to use bread crumbs, but the crushed corn flakes are so much better.
Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 4 | Pork chops |
| Flour | |
| 2 | Eggs |
| 1 | Teaspoon kosher salt |
| 1 | Teaspoon ground black pepper |
| Crushed corn flakes | |
| 1 1/2 | Teaspoons dried tarragon |
| 1/4 | Teaspoon dried thyme |
| 1/4 | Teaspoon dried marjoram |
| 1/4 | Teaspoon dried basil |
| 1/4 | Cup extra virgin olive oil |
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Chops: Pat the chops dry with a paper towel.
-
Set up Dredging Station: Prepare three shallow bowls. Place flour in the first bowl. In the second bowl, beat eggs and season with salt and pepper. In the third bowl, mix crushed corn flakes with tarragon, thyme, marjoram, and basil.
-
Dredge the Chops: Dredge each chop in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, followed by coating it with the seasoned corn flakes mixture. Place each coated chop onto waxed paper or a baking sheet.
-
Heat the Skillet: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with enough olive oil to come halfway up the sides of the chops.
-
Fry the Chops: Once the oil is hot and shimmering, add the chops to the skillet. Fry each side for 3 to 4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
-
Serve: Drain the fried chops on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve immediately and enjoy the crispy goodness!
