Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
Directions
Step 1
Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel to remove any moisture.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, mix together the almond flour, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
Step 3
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the heavy cream.
Step 4
Dip each pork chop into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated, and then dredge them in the almond flour mixture, pressing to adhere the coating well.
Step 5
In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and starts to foam.
Step 6
Carefully place the pork chops in the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan (cook in batches if necessary).
Step 7
Fry each side for 4-5 minutes, until the coating is golden brown and the pork is cooked through to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Step 8
Transfer the pork chops to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 9
Serve hot with your choice of keto-friendly sides, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
