Ingredients
- 6
boneless pork loin chops ( about 5 ounces each)
- 3/4 cup
all-purpose flour
Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup
half-and-half or whole milk
- 3
large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups
seasoned breadcrumbs
- 3
to 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 3
to 4 tablespoons salted butter
- 1
small piece parmesan cheese
- 5 oz.
baby arugula, baby spinach, or spring greens
- 2
lemons, cut into wedges
Directions
- Step 1Place the pork chops between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and use a mallet or a rolling pin to pound them very thin (no thicker than ¼ inch). If you think they're thin enough, pound 'em a few more times—the thinner the better!
- Step 2Place the flour in a shallow dish and mix in some salt and pepper. In another dish, whisk together the half-and-half and eggs. Place the breadcrumbs in a third dish. Set the 3 dishes aside.
- Step 3Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper. Coat them one at a time in the flour, then in the egg mixture, and then in the breadcrumbs. Lay in a single layer on a baking sheet until you’re ready to cook them.
- Step 4Combine 1 tablespoon each olive oil and butter in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat. When the butter is melted and hot, add 2 breaded pork chops and cook until the breading is golden brown and the pork is cooked through, about 2 minutes per side (add more oil or butter to the skillet when you flip, if necessary). Remove to a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat with the remaining oil, butter, and pork in two more batches.
- Step 5Shave the parmesan using a vegetable peeler. Place a piece of pork on each plate and top with the greens. Squeeze a little lemon juice over the greens, then sprinkle with a little salt. Top with the parmesan shavings and serve with more lemon wedges.
