Preparation

Step 1

Season the pork chops with salt and pepper on each side.
Wrap the ham or bacon around the pork chop, securing it on the side with a toothpick if desired.
Once you dredge them in the egg the ham will stick to the chop.
Set up a dredging station by whisking the egg and milk together in a wide, shallow bowl and combining the flour, bread crumbs and Parmesan together in another.
In large cast-iron skillet heat 1/2 inch of canola oil over medium-high heat.
Dredge the chops one at a time in the egg then the flour mixture, coating evenly all over.
Fry in batches of 2, about 6 minutes on each side depending on thickness.
Remove to drain on a paper towel lined platter.
Allow to rest 5 minutes before serving.
Don’t forget to remove the toothpicks!
