๐ฅ Ingredients:
- 4 pork chops
- 2 cups flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
- 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- Lemon wedges, for serving
๐ Instructions:
-
Prepare Ingredients:
- Put the flour in a shallow bowl or lipped plate.
- Break the eggs into another shallow bowl and whisk with the salt and pepper.
- In a third shallow bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the dried thyme, marjoram, and basil.

Bread the Chops:
- Dredge a pork chop in the flour, shaking off the excess.
- Dip the floured chop into the eggs, coating it evenly.

-
Prepare for Cooking:
- Set the breaded pork chops on a piece of waxed paper or a baking sheet.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat with enough extra virgin olive oil to come halfway up the sides of the chops, approximately 1/4 cup.
-
Cook the Pork Chops:
- When the oil shimmers, carefully add the breaded pork chops to the skillet.
- Fry each chop for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and crispy.
-
Serve:
- Once cooked, transfer the pork chops to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve immediately, garnished with fresh lemon wedges for a delightful citrusy touch. ๐๐ฟ

Chef’s Notes:
- For an extra crispy coating, use sourdough breadcrumbs. Simply trim off and discard the crust of a fresh sourdough loaf, then pulse it in a food processor to create fine crumbs. These absorb less oil during frying and add a delicious tangy flavor to the dish!
