8 1/4 -inch-thick boneless pork chops (1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds total), trimmed of excess fat
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
6 thick slices white sandwich bread
3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

5 cups baby arugula
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
Lemon wedges, for serving

1
Season the pork chops all over with salt and pepper.
2
Pulse the bread in a food processor to make coarse crumbs (you should have about 3 cups).

Transfer the breadcrumbs to a shallow baking dish and toss with the cheese, parsley and rosemary.
4
Whisk the eggs in a shallow bowl.
5
Put the flour in another shallow bowl.
6
Dredge each chop in the flour, then dip in the beaten eggs and coat in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing so the coating sticks.
7
Heat 1/4 inch olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
8
Working in batches, cook the pork chops until golden brown and cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes per side.
9
Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
10
Toss the arugula and tomatoes in a bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste.
11
Divide the pork chops among plates and season with salt.
