Preparing the breadcrumb mixture: Mixing bread crumbs with the optional garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning in a shallow bowl is a crucial step that infuses the crust with a medley of flavorful spices, creating the basis for the crispy, flavorful coating of your Parmesan Pork Chops.
Dipping the pork chops: Thoroughly dipping the pork chops in the egg mixture and then into the breadcrumb mixture ensures that every side of the pork chop is evenly coated, creating a consistent, delicious Parmesan crust during the cooking process.
Cooking the pork chops: Whether frying on medium-high heat in a cast-iron skillet or using an air fryer, properly cooking your pork chops until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees F as checked by a meat thermometer ensures the juiciness and safety of this delicious dinner recipe.
