Preparation

Step 1

In a pie plate, whisk the eggs together. Place the panko in a separate pie plate and season to taste with the thyme, garlic powder and Italian seasonings. Place the grated parmesan on a third plate.

Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-to-high heat.

While the oil is heating, salt and pepper the pork chops. Drop each chop into the parmesan and coat completely, pressing the cheese onto both sides of each chop. Dip the chops into the eggs, then coat well with the Panko.

In batches, cook chops until golden brown and the center reaches 150 degrees, about 6 to 8 minutes per side.
