I enjoyed this a lot.

I noticed some reviewers said it needed more seasoning and that it wasn't crispy. To address those concerns I seasoned the pork with herbs before breading. I also agree with the reviewer who said she likes to flour the meat before dipping in egg because that makes it stick better. But, in order to address the crunchy concerns, I used corn starch instead of flour. I used Panko bread crumbs that I seasoned. I preheated a cast iron skillet in the oven and used olive oil in place of the butter. I baked it for 15 minutes on each side. My chops came out tasty and the breading was crunchy.

The corn starch, Panko bread crumbs, cast iron skillet and oil in place of butter all contribute to the crunchiness. If you prefer the flavor of butter and still want as much crunch as you can get, use clarified butter.

I'll be making this again. It's relatively easy and less fuss than pan frying.

My family loved this!! I didn't have a can of breadcrumbs at hand so I ground up some seasoned croutons in my processor and they did a wonderful job. One bag that I used was garlic/butter flavor and had enough oil in them that I didn't need much butter in the bottom of my dish. I had to cook mine 15min on each side and then put them under the broiler for a couple mins. to get them good and crunchy! Perfect with fried potatoes and steamed broccoli with cheese sauce.

This was a great recipe. The whole family loved it. It was really easy to make as well. I even made my own seasoned bread crumbs. I will make this recipe again. Thanks
