Crispy Parmesan Sage Pork Chops

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Parmesan Sage Pork Chops.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 425°F (220°C) and give a light greasing to a 7x11-inch baking dish to ensure your pork chops don’t stick.

2. Step 2

   In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt, and black pepper for a simple yet flavorful coating.

3. Step 3

   In another shallow dish, beat an egg until it’s nice and frothy.

4. Step 4

   Then, in a third dish, mix together breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, rubbed sage, and a hint of lemon zest to add a refreshing twist.

5. Step 5

   Now, let’s get to the fun part! Take one pork chop and gently press it into the flour mixture, making sure it’s evenly coated.

6. Step 6

   Give it a little shake to remove any excess flour, then dip it into the beaten egg, allowing any extra to drip off.

7. Step 7

   Next, it’s time for the breadcrumb mixture—press the pork chop in there, ensuring it’s well-coated with that delicious blend.

8. Step 8

   Shake off any loose crumbs and place the breaded chop on a plate.

9. Step 9

   Repeat this delightful process with the second pork chop, and soon you’ll have two beautifully breaded chops ready for cooking.

10. Step 10

    In a large skillet, heat up some olive oil and butter over medium heat until it’s nice and hot.

11. Step 11

    Carefully add the breaded pork chops to the skillet and let them sizzle away for about 4 minutes on each side, or until they turn a lovely golden brown.

12. Step 12

    This step not only adds flavor but also gives them a beautiful color that’s hard to resist.

13. Step 13

    Once your pork chops are perfectly browned, transfer them to the prepared baking dish.

14. Step 14

    Slide them into your preheated oven and let them bake for 10 to 15 minutes.

15. Step 15

    You’ll know they’re done when the pork is no longer pink in the center, and an instant-read thermometer reads at least 145°F (63°C) when inserted into the thickest part of the chop.

16. Step 16

    And there you have it! Juicy, golden-brown pork chops that are sure to impress.

17. Step 17

    Enjoy your delicious creation!.
