💰Cheaper: crushed crackers

Prepare your ingredients: pork chops, flour, eggs, milk, and salt.

In a bowl, combine 2 cups of flour and season with salt.

In another bowl, crack 2 eggs and add 1 cup of milk, then stir to combine.

Use one hand for wet ingredients (egg mixture) and the other for dry ingredients (flour) to bread the pork chops.

Dip each pork chop into the wet mixture, then coat it in the dry flour mixture until fully covered.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat for pan-searing the pork chops.

Pan-sear the pork chops for about 2 minutes on each side until they are browned.

Transfer the seared pork chops to an oven-safe tray and preheat the oven to 450 degrees.

Place the tray with pork chops in the oven and cook for about 30 minutes.

Check for doneness by cutting into the pork; it should be white meat, or use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 160 to 165 degrees.

While the pork chops are baking, stir-fry frozen veggies in the oil and leftover batter from the pork chops.
