Servings: persons

1/3 cup all-purpose flour, for dredging
2 large eggs, beaten to blend
1 1/4 cups plain dried bread crumbs
2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons dried basil
1 teaspoon dried thyme
4 8-ounce center-cut pork loin chops (each about 1 inch thick)
1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 lemon, cut into wedges

1
Place the flour in a wide, shallow bowl.
2
Place the eggs in another wide, shallow bowl.
3
Mix the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, basil, and thyme in a third wide, shallow bowl.
4
Using a meat mallet, pound the pork chops on the work surface until they are 1/4 inch thick.
5
Sprinkle the pork chops with 1 teaspoon each of salt and pepper.
6
Working with one pork chop at a time, dredge the chops in the flour to coat lightly, then dip the chops into the beaten eggs, allowing the excess egg to drip off.
7
Finally, coat the pork chops with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
8
Set the pork chops in a single layer on a baking sheet.
9
(The pork chops can be prepared up to this point 4 hours ahead.
10
Cover and refrigerate.)
11
Preheat the oven to 150 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a rack.
12
In a large, heavy saute pan with high sides, melt the butter in the oil over medium heat until hot.
13
Carefully place 2 pork chops in the oil mixture and cook until light golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.
14
Transfer the chops to the baking sheet and sprinkle with more salt to taste.
15
Keep the cooked chops warm in the oven.
16
Repeat with the remaining 2 chops.
17
Place 1 pork chop on each of 4 dinner plates, and serve immediately with the lemon wedges.
