Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon milk
• 1 cup vegetable oil for frying
• salt to taste
• 8 thin cut boneless pork chops
• 0.5 teaspoon minced garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon pepper
• 1.5 cups panko crumbs

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine eggs, milk, garlic, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl until well mixed. Heat oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Place panko crumbs in a shallow bowl.

Step 2

Dip pork chops in egg mixture, then coat with panko crumbs; dip in the egg mixture again, then coat with another layer of panko crumbs. Lay coated chops on a plate until the rest are finished. If you have time, let them set for about 10 minutes, and the coating will set very well.

Step 3

When oil is very hot, place pork chops into the pan, and fry for about 5 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
