• 1 teaspoon onion powder

Zubereitung

1. 1

   Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease or line a baking dish to prevent sticking and prepare for the pork chops.

2. 2

   Mix Breading: In a shallow bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs or panko, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper, mixing thoroughly to evenly distribute the seasonings.

3. 3

   Prepare Butter Mixture: In a separate bowl, stir together the olive oil and melted butter until well blended.

4. 4

   Dry Pork Chops: Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to ensure the coating adheres properly and results in a crisp crust.

5. 5

   Coat Pork Chops: Dip each pork chop into the butter mixture, fully coating it, then press firmly on both sides into the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture to create an even crust.

6. 6

   Arrange for Baking: Place the coated pork chops in the prepared baking dish, spaced evenly to allow for thorough cooking.

7. 7

   Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C), indicating it is safely cooked and juicy.

8. 8

   Optional Broil: For a crisper top, switch the oven to broil and cook the pork chops for 2 to 3 minutes more, watching carefully to prevent burning.

9. 9

   Rest and Garnish: Remove pork chops from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired before serving.
