Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Dredge each pork chop in the flour mixture, making sure to coat all sides. Shake off any excess flour.

Step 7

Dip the floured pork chop into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's fully coated.

Step 8

Press the pork chop into the breadcrumb mixture, covering it thoroughly with the herb and Parmesan coating. Gently press to adhere the breadcrumbs.
