I was waiting for my preschooler outside the classroom so I decided to browse my reliable online magazines to keep me busy. Then I came across this simple recipe, which includes breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese and pork chop. It’s been a while since I last set foot on the kitchen and cook something for the family. So I told my ever-reliable yaya that it’s my turn to cook dinner.
Say hello to Breaded Parmesan Chops. 
It’s pretty easy. Start by seasoning pork chops with salt and pepper. Set aside. In my case, I use butterfly cut because it’s much easier to chew. Also, I cut it in thin strips so it will cook faster.
Then, prepare three shallow containers. Pour parmesan cheese on Container 1, then beat an egg and a tablespoon of water on Container 2 and combine bread crumbs, basil leaves and a sprinkle of rosemary on Container 3. The reason why I added a tablespoon of water on egg is to prevent the egg from sticking on the pan during frying. Also, I prefer adding basil and rosemary on breadcrumbs for more flavor. 
Coat the pork in this order: parmesan – egg + water – breadcrumbs mixture. Once you’re done, place the coated pork on the freezer for 30 minutes to an hour to keep the coating firm and won’t fall easily during frying. 
When the coating is firm enough, pour oil on the pan and heat it over medium-high heat. Work in batches according to the size of your pan. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan to make sure that the pork will get cooked properly. Cook thoroughly until both sides are well-browned. 
Serve with rice and buttered veggies on the side.
What do you think mommas? Easy, isn’t it?

It looks like some kind of nuggets. But i guess it tastes better because of the presence of parmesan. Kids will surely love this recipe.
Manipis kasi š I like cooking pork in thin and small sizes so its easier to cook š
Looks yummy and easy to do. Thanks for the tip about putting in freezer first. I always make breaded stuff but don’t put in freezer. Will try that next time : )
I used to do that too before. But i read somewhere that putting in the freezer helps – and it does! š
this looks superrr good! will try w my air fryer
Thanks for sharing this recipe.
looks good and easy to do. i wonder if cheap parmesan is good enough?
Yes mommy May, I just used the American Heritage parmesan cheese. I don’t know where to get fresh parmesan eh :))
Ooh, haha, I was referring to that brand nga. š Thanks.
Expensive ang Kraft and other brands! Hehehe. That’s why I opted for the smaller one. P97 lang ata :)) You’re welcome š
This looks delicious! Sayang we’re off pork now, but the carnivore in me wants to try it!

Thanks for the easy recipe mommy! But will use chicken fillet naman instead of pork.
Oh, I’ve never thought to add herbs with the bread crumbs before. I will try nga next time. Plus the parmesan step beforehand. š
The herbs add more flavor to the pork kaya mas masarap š You can try oregano and basil together š
Anything with cheese is yummy. I think you can also substitute fish fillet instead of pork š
