How to Make Breading for Pork Chops

Breaded Chops

With the rise in prices for food, people are starting to give up expensive steaks for meats like chicken or pork. Eating chicken or pork more than twice a week starts to get boring after a while. You can spice up your pork chops by making different types of breading for pork chops. The breaded pork chops can be grilled, fried or baked.

Things You'll Need

• 4 pork chops
• 8 slices of toast
• 2 tsp. chopped parsley
• 2 tsp. garlic powder
• 2 tsp. onion powder
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 2 tsp. black pepper
• 1 tsp. white pepper
• 2 tsp. orange zest
• 1 tsp. cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp. basil
• 1/4 C. Parmesan cheese
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 C. water

Instructions

How to Make Breading for Pork Chops

1. Beat the eggs until fluffy. Use a large bowl that is big enough to put the pork chops in. A wide shallow bowl works perfect for this. Add the water to the eggs and mix well.

2. Tear the bread into quarters. Put the bread in a food processor. Add the chopped parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, white pepper, orange zest, cayenne pepper, basil and Parmesan cheese. Process until the bread crumbs are finely chopped and spices and cheese are mixed in well. Do not let the mixture turn to a powder.

3. Pour the bread crumb mixture into a wide bowl. Dip the chops into the egg mixture, then the bread crumb mixture. Grill, fry or bake the chops. For different flavors, you can add different spices or delete spices from the spice list. Be creative!

4. Garnish with fresh parsley sprigs and orange peel curlicues. Makes 4 servings.

Tips & Warnings

• If you do not have a food processor, you can use a fork to break up the toast and mix the spices in.

• Do not let the mixture turn to a powder. You want your bread crumbs to have the consistency of rough sand.
