Servings: 4

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon pepper
• 3/4 soft bread crumbs
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 tablespoon rubbed sage
• 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
• 2 egg, lightly beaten
• 4 bone-in pork loin chops
• 2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons butter or margarine

Directions:

1. 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 minutes.
2. In a skillet, brown chops in oil and butter for 2 minutes on each side. Transfer to an appropriate sized baking dish so all the chops are in one layer. Bake, uncovered, at 425 degrees F for 10-15 minutes or until juices run clear and a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees F.
