Ingredients
  

4 bone-in or boneless pork chops (about 1 inch thick)

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 large eggs

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup olive oil (for cooking)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare the Breading Station: In three separate shallow bowls, set up your breading station:

      - In the first bowl, place the flour and season it with salt and pepper.

        - In the second bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.

          - In the third bowl, mix together the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, parsley (if using), paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

            Bread the Pork Chops:

              - Take each pork chop and dredge it in the flour, shaking off any excess.

                - Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's fully coated.

                  - Finally, press it into the Parmesan and breadcrumb mixture, coating both sides generously.

                    Sear the Pork Chops: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded pork chops and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

                      Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake the pork chops for an additional 15-20 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and the crust is crispy.

                        Rest and Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and let the pork chops rest for about 5 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for a fresh, zesty touch.

                          Enjoy! These garlic Parmesan crusted pork chops are perfect served alongside roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
