Saltine Crusted Pork Chops Recipes

Steps:

• Brine the pork: In a large bowl, whisk 1 quart warm water, the brown sugar, salt and paprika until the sugar and salt dissolve. Add the peppercorns, sage, thyme and rosemary and let cool to room temperature. Add the pork chops to the brine. Cover and refrigerate 24 hours.
• Meanwhile, make the gremolata: Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F. Combine the olive oil and garlic in a small baking dish. Cover with foil and bake until the garlic is completely tender, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let the garlic cool in the oil. Strain, reserving the roasted garlic and oil separately. Chop enough roasted garlic to measure 1 tablespoon. Reserve the remaining roasted garlic for another use.
• Mix the parsley, lemon zest, chopped roasted garlic and 1/2 cup of the garlic oil in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper. Reserve the remaining garlic oil to coat the pork.
• Grill the pork: Preheat a grill to medium high. Remove the pork from the brine and pat dry. Lightly brush the pork with some of the garlic oil and sprinkle with pepper. Grill, turning as needed to prevent flare-ups, until a nicely charred crust forms and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 135 degrees F for medium doneness, 8 to 10 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 8 minutes.
• Carve the meat from the bones and slice against the grain. Serve with the gremolata.

Steps:

• In a shallow bowl, combine egg and milk. Place cracker crumbs in another shallow bowl. Dip each pork chop in egg mixture, then coat with cracker crumbs, patting to make a thick coating. , In a large skillet, cook chops in oil for 4-5 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 145°. Let meat stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well blended. Run the pork chops under water then roll in the cracker crumbs. Dip into the egg mixture, then back into the cracker crumbs. Make sure the chops are thickly coated.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry chops until golden brown on both sides. Add water to the skillet, just enough to almost come to the top of the pork chops. Dissolve the chicken bouillon cube in the water. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the pork chops absorb most of the water, about 15 to 20 minutes.
• To deep fry, skip the water and bouillon cube. Heat frying oil to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fry coated chops for about 10 minutes or until golden brown. Season with salt and pepper immediately after. They come out moist and delicious.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a baking dish with cooking spray.
• Whisk egg in a shallow bowl.
• Mix Parmesan cheese and Cajun seasoning together on a plate.
• Dip each pork chop into egg. Press into Parmesan mixture until coated on both sides. Place in the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), 35 to 40 minutes.

Steps:

• Crush the saltines very fine in a food processor. If you don't have one, crush the crackers in a baggie with a rolling pin.
• Add the cheese, corn starch, and seasonings and pulse a couple of times to mix them in well. Again, if no food processor, add them to the crushed crackers in the baggie and mix well.
• Add the crumb mixture to a pie plate. Dip the pork chops and cover well with the crumbs. Double dip them to ensure a good amount of crumbs.
• In a hot skillet, add 1/4 cup of oil. Pan fry for about 3-5 minutes on each side and both sides are golden brown.
• Remove from pan and cover with foil to keep warm if a gravy is desired.

Steps:

• Put pork chops in a shallow dish or zip-loc bag.
• Add enough milk to cover chops.
• Soak pork chops in the milk several hours or overnight in the refrigerator, turning if necessary.
• Crush the club crackers into coarse crumbs.(I place them in a zip-loc bag and crush them with a rolling pin.).
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Remove pork chops from milk.
• Season VERY well with garlic salt (I often use Morton Nature's Seasons in place of the garlic salt).
• Dredge seasoned chops with the cracker crumbs, making sure they are well coated with crumbs.
• Place the coated crumbs on a cookie sheet.(I use an ungreased one and never have a problem with sticking. You can spray it lightly with PAM if you prefer.).
• Bake for 1 hour in preheated 325 degree Fahrenheit oven.
• Cooking time includes soaking overnight.
• Slight variation: Sometimes I will season with Morton's Nature's Seasons instead of the garlic salt.
• ***I have tried this with other crackers, it is okay, but just not quite as good***.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Sprinkle pork chops with salt and pepper; add to skillet. Saute until a thermometer reads 145°, about 5 minutes per side. Remove to a serving platter; squeeze juice from lemon over chops. Tent with foil; let stand at least 5 minutes before serving., For garlic spinach, heat oil over medium-high heat in same skillet. Add garlic; cook until it just begins to brown, about 45 seconds. Add spinach; cook and stir just until wilted, 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Remove from heat; add lemon juice. Transfer to serving platter. Remove foil from pork; serve spinach with chops.

Steps:

• Dip pork into egg mixture, then coat with Bisquick mixture.
• In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add pork; cook 8 to 10 minutes, turning once, until no longer pink in center.
