Baked Parmesan Pork Chops Final Dish Presentation

I remember when I first made this recipe for a family gathering. My grandmother used to make it on Sunday evenings, filling the house with an amazing aroma that brought everyone to the table without hesitation. Over time, I have added my touches, yet it remains a tribute to her culinary skill and love for family meals.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

This dish is not only quick to prepare, but it also offers a deliciously crunchy texture with a deeply satisfying taste. The use of parmesan cheese gives it an exquisite depth of flavor. Additionally, it’s versatile enough to pair perfectly with almost any side dish and flexible for various dietary preferences.

Ingredients Notes

The star ingredient in this recipe is, of course, the parmesan cheese, which should ideally be fresh and finely grated. For the pork chops, look for boneless cuts for easier preparation. Breadcrumbs can be regular or panko, depending on your preference for texture. Olive oil, garlic, and herbs harmonize to accentuate the overall taste.

Recipe Steps

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for non-stick convenience.

Step 2

Prepare the coating mixture by combining finely grated parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper in a wide shallow dish.

Step 3

Brush the pork chops with olive oil, ensuring both sides are evenly coated. This helps the coating stick and adds moisture.

Step 4

Dredge each Pork Chop in the parmesan mixture, pressing firmly to ensure the coating adheres well.

Step 5

Place the coated chops on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Let rest before serving.

Storage Options

Store leftover pork chops in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze them on a baking sheet first, then transfer to a ziplock bag. To reheat, use a low oven setting to maintain texture without drying out.

Variations & Substitutions

For a gluten-free option, swap regular breadcrumbs with a gluten-free variety. Vegetarians can substitute thin eggplant slices in place of pork. Experiment with herbs like thyme or rosemary for an alternative flavor profile.

Serving Suggestions

These pork chops are ideal for an elegant weeknight dinner or a cozy Sunday meal. They pair wonderfully with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh green salad. For a wine pairing, consider a crisp Chardonnay or a full-bodied red.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use bone-in pork chops instead? Yes, bone-in pork chops can be used; however, they may require additional cooking time. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for safe consumption.

Is there a recommended cheese substitute? While parmesan is preferred for its nutty flavor, you could substitute with pecorino romano for a more robust, salty taste. Adjust the seasoning accordingly.

How do I prevent the coating from falling off? Ensuring the chops are well-coated in olive oil will improve adhesion. Additionally, press the pork chops firmly into the parmesan mixture to achieve an even coating.
