Crunchy Pork Chops Recipe

  • 2/3 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1/2 cup Safeway SELECT Verdi Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 1/3 cup sesame seeds
  • 1/3 cup toasted wheat germ
  • 4 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 4 teaspoons dried parsley
  • 1 tablespoon dried thyme
  • 2 teaspoons dried sage
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons Lucerne Sweet Cream Butter
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons salad oil
  • 2 Safeway SELECT Organic Large Egg
  • 1 tablespoon Safeway SELECT Organic Milk
  • 2 pounds shoulder pork chops (about 3/4 in. thick)
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine cornmeal, cheese, sesame seeds, wheat germ, garlic powder, parsley, thyme, sage, salt, and pepper. Shake bag to mix ingredients. Measure 1 cup of the mix into a shallow dish.
  2. In a 10- by 15-inch pan, combine butter and oil. Place pan in oven just until butter melts, about 1 minute. Remove from oven.
  3. In a shallow dish, beat together eggs and milk until blended.
  4. Rinse pork chops and pat dry with a paper towel. Dip each chop in egg mixture; drain briefly, then dip in coating mix, turning to coat thoroughly. Arrange chops in baking pan, turning to coat with butter-oil mixture.
  5. Bake, turning chops once, for 30 minutes or until no longer pink in the center (cut to test).
