Ingredients

  • 8 boneless, thin pork chops. (maybe 1/2 inch thick, tops)

  • flour (for dredging)

  • 3 large eggs

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

  • freshly ground black pepper

  • 2 cup fresh breadcrumbs

  • 1 tablespoon thyme

  • 1 tablespoon marjoram

  • 1 tablespoon basil

  • vegetable oil (for shallow frying)

  • 8 lemon wedges

Directions

  • Pound flat and wide the chops with a tenderizing hammer.
  • Put flour in one shallow bowl.
  • Whisk egg with salt and pepper in another bowl.
  • Mix breadcrumb and herb in a 3rd bowl.
  • Dredge chop in flour, dip it in egg and press both sides into the breadcrumbs. Use wax paper to separate layers of breaded chops.
  • Fry the chops in a pan, with enough oil to come halfway to top of the chop.
  • Serve with lemon wedge and enjoy!

Notes

  • I have used fresh sourdough…it has a nice taste and finished texture.
  • I like the crunch, so I now mix breadcrumbs with panko.
  • Fresh breadcrumbs absorb less oil than stale.
