Ingredients

  • cooking spray
  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
  • 4 (5 ounce) bone-in, center-cut pork chops
  • 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Information

  • Prep Time: 15 mins
  • Cook Time: 20 mins
  • Total Time: 35 mins
  • Servings: 4
  • Yield: 4 pork chops

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly coat a wire rack with cooking spray and set in a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Whisk eggs and water together in a shallow dish. Place bread crumbs in a second shallow dish.
  • Season pork chops evenly with salt and pepper. Dip and coat chops in egg, allow excess to drip off, then dip in bread crumbs until well coated.
  • Heat 1/2 of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place 2 chops in the skillet and cook until golden and crisp, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until crisp on the other side, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer to the prepared rack. Heat remaining oil in the skillet and repeat to sear remaining chops.
  • Bake pork chops in preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, 10 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 155 degrees F (68 degrees C).
