Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Coating
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a shallow bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.
- In another shallow bowl, whisk the egg until slightly beaten.
Step 2: Coat the Pork Chops
- Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel to remove any moisture.
- Dip each pork chop into the egg wash, ensuring it’s fully coated.
- Then, dredge the pork chop into the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks evenly.
Step 3: Bake
- Place the coated pork chops on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with a little olive oil to help them crisp up in the oven.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pork chops are golden brown on the outside and cooked through to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). For extra crispiness, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end.
Step 4: Serve & Enjoy
- Once cooked, remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
