Preparation

Step 1

Slice pork chops horizontally throughout the middle.
Insert slice of Gruyere cheese and slice of Canadian back bacon.
Seal edges with toothpick.
Combine together egg and milk in bowl large enough to dip pork chops in.
In separate bowl combine together Panko bread crumbs, salt and pepper.
Salt and pepper pork chops, then lightly dust with flour.
Dip into egg mixture,
Immediately dip into Panko bread crumbs, press into pork chops.
Heat olive oil or vegetable oil in frying pan,
Brown pork chops on both sides until golden.
Transfer to baking pan with rack and continue baking in oven at 350 degrees until done. Approximately 30- 40 minutes. (depends on thickness of your pork chops)
I use a meat thermometer and cook until internal temperature of 160.
