Panko Crusted Pork Chop

You guys... my mom is officially a thief.

Two weeks ago we were at the beauty salon getting our nails did, when my mother stumbled upon this...

She kept stumbling across recipes that we "had to make."

This pork chop dish being one of them.

Usually, when my mom does the shopping for NFT she prints out the recipe for the ingredients and then leaves it for me in the kitchen to cook from that night.

When I couldn't find my usual paper recipe, my mom busted out the nail salon magazine!

THIEF!

Her rational was that it wasn't the nail salons because it didn't have the usual nail salon address on it.

Duh, fair game.

You will need...

4 pork chops

2 eggs

2 tablespoons your favorite whole grain mustard (I like the garlic)

2 cups panko breadcrumbs

4 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

Extra salt and pepper to taste

Start by using a meat mallet or heavy cutting board to pound the pork chops until they are 1/4 inch thick.

Season the pork chops with salt and pepper.

In a bowl, whisk together the mustard and eggs.

In a second bowl, combine the bread crumbs, salt and pepper.

To create the crust, start by dipping a piece of pork into the egg mixture and make sure it is completely covered.

Then transfer it to the bread crumb bowl and make sure it is completely covered.

When all the pork chops are coated, heat 1 tablespoon of oil per chop over medium-high heat.

As soon as the oil is hot, add the pork to the pan.

Cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until cooked through.

Serve hot while I try and not let my mothers poor moral decisions effect my high moral standards.
