Parmesan Sage Pork Chops

Don't these look delicious?! I made these for dinner tonight and they tasted so yummy! The recipe is by Martha Barnes on www.allrecipes.com.

Ingredients:
1/4 c. flour
1/2 t. salt
dash pepper
1 1/2 c. soft bread crumbs
1 c. grated Parmesan cheese
1 T. rubbed sage
1 t. grated lemon peel
2 eggs, lightly beaten
4 bone-in pork loin chops
2 T. olive or vegetable oil
2 T. butter or margarine

Directions:

In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt and pepper. In another shallow dish, combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, sage and lemon peel. Place egg in shallow bowl. Coat pork chops with flour mixture, dip in egg, then coat with bread crumb mixture. Let stand for 5 mins.

In a skillet, brown chops in oil and butter for 2 mins. on each side. Transfer to a greased 11" x 17" x 2" baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 425 degrees F for 10-15 mins. or until juices run clear and a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees F.

Note: I did not have sage, so I skipped that and I was out of lemon peel, so I added lemon pepper. Lemon pepper is one of my favorites. I also used boneless pork chops and made fresh bread crumbs.

Until next time,

Happy Sewing,
