Enjoy these crispy and flavorful oven-baked pork chops, perfect for a family dinner.
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Ensure the oven is fully preheated to achieve even cooking.
Place the butter in a baking dish and put it in the oven until melted.
Swirl the melted butter around the dish to coat the bottom evenly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg and milk.
Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Place the breadcrumbs in a resealable bag.
You can add spices like paprika or garlic powder to the breadcrumbs for extra flavor.
Dip each pork chop into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
Let any excess egg mixture drip off before breading.
Place the coated pork chop into the bag with breadcrumbs and shake to coat evenly.
Press the breadcrumbs onto the pork chop gently to ensure they stick well.
Arrange the breaded pork chops in the baking dish over the melted butter.
Leave space between the chops for even cooking.
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
Avoid opening the oven frequently to maintain a consistent temperature.
Flip the pork chops and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
Serve the pork chops warm with your favorite sides.
Garnish with fresh parsley or a squeeze of lemon for added freshness.
