Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon water
• 2 large eggs
• ¼ cup olive oil
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
• cooking spray
• 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
• 4 (5 ounce) bone-in, center-cut pork chops

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Whisk eggs and water together in a shallow dish. Place bread crumbs in a second shallow dish.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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).
