1

Go to the butcher and ask for center cut, bone-in pork chops that are about 1 to 1.5 inches thick and French them.

2

Cut off any cartilage or bone pieces from the top of the pork chop.

3

Place the pork chop in a large zipper freezer bag and pound it with a meat mallet to thin it out.

4

Sprinkle the pork chop with salt and black pepper.

5

Set up a dredge station with flour, beaten eggs, and a mixture of breadcrumbs and grated parmesan cheese.

6

For the breadcrumbs, use 4 pieces of country white bread, let them sit out to stale, cut off the crusts, cube them, and process them until fine.

7

Dredge the pork chop in flour, shaking off excess.

8

Dip the floured pork chop into the beaten eggs, ensuring full coverage.

9

Coat the pork chop with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere, and let it sit for 15 minutes to absorb the egg.

10

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil until shimmering.

11

Add the breaded pork chops to the skillet in a single layer, cooking for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

12

Transfer the cooked pork chops to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
