Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 4 pork chops, trimmed of fat, with or without bone, 1-inch thick
- 1 large egg
- 1½ cups breadcrumbs
- ¾ teaspoon seasoning salt
- Olive oil and/or butter for frying
Instructions
- 1
Combine egg and 1 tablespoon water in a shallow bowl.
- 2
Mix breadcrumbs and seasoning salt in another shallow bowl.
- 3
If the pork chops have fat along the edge, remove the excess. Then cut into any remaining fat (slash from the other edge of the chop through the fat) to prevent the meat from curling when cooking.
- 4
Heat about 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter in a large flat-bottomed frying pan (enough just to cover the bottom) over high heat.
- 5
Take the first pork chop and coat with breadcrumb mixture, then dip in the egg mixture, then re-coat with more breadcrumbs. Carefully place chop into frying pan to avoid splattering. Repeat with remaining chops. Add extra butter or oil if needed.
- 6
Turn chops when nicely browned on one side.
- 7
Cover frying pan and lower heat to gently continue browning and cooking the chops until done. Turn once or twice during cooking. One-inch thick chops will take about 20 minutes.
- 8
Transfer fried pork chops to a plate lined with a paper towel before serving.
