4 pork rib chops, trimmed and lightly pounded to even thickness
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Season chops with salt and pepper. Set up three shallow dishes: flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan.

3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
4. Fry chops 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp 145°F/63°C); do not overcrowd the pan.
