Perfect Pork Chops Recipe 455

Steps:

• Mix flour, seasoned salt, and pepper thoroughly in a wide bowl.
• Dredge each side of the pork chops in the flour mixture. Set aside on a plate.
• Pour oil into a frying pan over medium-high heat. Drop a pinch of flour in the oil; it will sizzle if the oil is ready. Add 2 pork chops and cook until golden brown on the outside and no longer pink in the center, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining chops.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. For later in this recipe, place a cooling rack over a large dish or pan. In a large cast iron pan, or other oven-proof sauté pan (do not use a non-stick skillet), heat the oil over medium-high heat until hot. Place the two chops in the pan, not touching each other, and let them cook-leaving them alone for three minutes. Turn and cook untouched for two more minutes. Then keep flipping every two minutes for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove the pan from the flame and insert a probe thermometer horizontally into the thickest part of one of the chops and set the probe to alarm at 135 degrees. Place the pan with the pork chops in the pre-heated oven and turn the chops every two minutes for about 14-15 minutes or until they reach 135 degrees. (They will cook further after you take them out of the oven so don't leave them in the oven past 135 degrees. The internal temperature will rise to 145 degrees which is the USDA's minimum recommended temperature for cooked pork.) Remove the pan from the oven and set chops temporarily on the prepared rack. Drain off oil from the pan and discard. Place the pan on stove top over medium heat and add butter, garlic and thyme. Cook for two minutes, scraping up any brown bits, then add the chops back to the pan and baste continually; flipping the chops two or three times to fully coat with butter sauce, about two to three minutes. Turn off the heat. When ready to serve, place the chop on a cutting board vertically and with a long knife, slice down between the two bones. When you get to the connecting bone, snap it or cut it off. This will give you two portions of equal size for each chop for a total of four servings. Serve the pork chop with a little of the browned butter sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• In a shallow bowl or pie plate, whisk eggs with garlic powder and onion powder. Place cracker crumbs on a separate plate. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Dip pork chops into the egg, then press in the cracker crumbs to coat. Fry in the hot oil for 2 to 3 minutes per side, just until golden brown. Remove to a baking sheet.
• Bake for 45 minutes in the preheated oven, turning once. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees. Butter a baking dish.
• Pound pork chops with a meat mallet until thin and rub lightly with salt and pepper. Place in the prepared baking dish.
• Stir heavy cream and flour together in a small bowl and season with salt. Pour over pork. Sprinkle with Emmental cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until pork is cooked through and cheese is melted and slightly browned, about 45 minutes.
