Preparation

Step 1

Trim pork of any fat. Place between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and pound (using a meat mallet, rolling pin or small heavy skillet) to about 1/4" thickness.

Separate egg white from the yolk and place in a shallow dish. Beat the egg white with a little bit of water so that it is easy to dip the pork. In another shallow dish combine panko, cheese, salt and pepper. Dip pork in egg white mixture and then dredge in the panko mixture, pressing down to coat evenly.

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Careful place pork into the skillet and cook 3-4 minutes on each side or until lightly golden (to a safe internal temp of 160-170°).

Remove pork to a serving platter.

Squeeze 1 lemon wedge over each pork chop and sprinkle chopped thyme.

Serve with a green vegetable.
