1/2 c. Parmesan cheese
1 tsp. garlic powder
2 eggs, beaten
2 Tbs. olive oil

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°.

Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper. 

Beat eggs in a separate shallow dish or pan until well beaten

In a shallow dish or pan, combine seasoned breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese and garlic powder.

Dip the pork chops in the beaten egg, coating both sides.  Allow the excess egg to drip off. 

Dip the pork chops in the seasoned breadcrumb mixture, coating both sides.  Shake off excess.

Heat oil in a heavy oven safe cast iron skillet over medium heat.  Sear the pork chops on one side until golden brown. Turn them over and sear the other side until golden brown.

 Notes

If you don't have any breadcrumbs, use stuffing mix. Just put some in a plastic bag and use a rolling pin to crush the stuffing into crumbs.

If you like the taste of garlic, add more to the seasoned breadcrumb mixture.
