This recipe features juicy pork fillets coated in a crispy parmesan and breadcrumb crust, all cooked to golden perfection with a touch of olive oil. The combination of savory parmesan cheese and tender pork is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs until well mixed.
- In another shallow bowl, combine the bread crumbs and grated Parmesan cheese, mixing well to ensure even distribution.
- Pat the pork fillets dry with paper towels.
- Season both sides of each fillet with a dash of salt and black pepper.
- Dip each pork fillet into the beaten egg, coating both sides evenly.
- Press the egg-coated fillet into the bread crumb and Parmesan mixture, ensuring that both sides are well covered. Gently press the mixture into the meat to ensure it sticks. Repeat with all fillets.
- Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, carefully place two of the breaded pork fillets into the skillet.
- Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the crust is golden brown and the pork is cooked through (internal temperature should reach at least 145°F or 63°C).
- Remove the cooked fillets from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Repeat the process with the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil and the remaining two pork fillets.
- Serve the Parmesan-crusted pork chops hot, accompanied by your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad.
Tips:
- For added flavor, you can marinate the pork fillets in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, and herbs for at least 30 minutes before breading.
- Make sure the pork fillets are patted dry with a paper towel before breading to ensure the coating sticks properly.
- To make the crust even crispier, you can use panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs.
- Cook the pork chops in batches if your pan isn't large enough to fit them all at once. Overcrowding the pan can cause the chops to steam rather than fry, resulting in a less crispy crust.
- Allow the pork chops to rest for a few minutes after cooking to let the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in juicier and more flavorful chops.
Parmesan-crusted pork chops with olive oil is a simple yet delicious recipe that's sure to impress.
