• Ready In: 30 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 4  pork chops, 1/2 inch thick,patted dry
•  flour (for dredging)
• 2  large eggs
• 1  teaspoon kosher salt
•  fresh ground black pepper
• 1 1⁄2 cups  fresh sour dough  breadcrumbs
• 1⁄4 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1⁄4 teaspoon dried marjoram
• 1⁄4 teaspoon dried basil
•  extra virgin olive oil, for shallow frying
• 2  lemon wedges

Directions

1. Put the flour in a shallow bowl or lipped plate.
2. Break the eggs into another shallow bowl and whisk with the salt and pepper.
3. In a third shallow bowl mix the breadcrumbs with herbs.
4. Bread the chops.
5. Dredge a chop in the flour, shaking off the excess, then dip it into the eggs, and finally coat the meat evenly with the breadcrumbs.
6. Set on a piece of waxed paper or baking sheet.
7. Repeat with the remaining chops.
8. Heat a large skillet over medium heat with enough oil to come halfway up the sides of the chops, about 1/4 cup.
9. When the oil shimmers, add the chops and fry 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.
10. Drain on paper towels and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
11. NOTE: To make sourdough bread crumbs, trim off and discard the crust of a fresh sourdough loaf (stale bread crumbs absorb more oil during frying), and pulse it in a food processor into crumbs.
