Ingredients for Famous Pork Chops
- 1 cup of crushed butter crackers
- Garlic salt to taste
- Ground black pepper to taste
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 4 pork chops
- ½ cup butter
Instructions to Cook Famous Pork Chops
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a small bowl, mix the crushed butter crackers with garlic salt and black pepper to taste.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs lightly.
- Dip each pork chop into the eggs, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Press the pork chops into the cracker mixture, coating them thoroughly on all sides.
- Melt the half-cup of butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the coated pork chops to the skillet. Brown them on each side for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven, and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and tender.
- Remove from the oven, let them rest for a few minutes, then serve with your favorite sides.
Healthier Cooking Option
For a healthier alternative, consider coating the pork chops with a light layer of whole wheat breadcrumbs instead of butter crackers. Using an air fryer can also reduce the amount of butter used, which can make the dish lighter and less greasy while retaining its delicious flavor.
