Breaded Pork Chops

Directions

1. 1
   Put the flour in a shallow bowl or lipped plate.
2. 2
   Break the eggs into another shallow bowl and whisk with the salt and pepper.
3. 3
   In a third shallow bowl mix the breadcrumbs with herbs.
4. 4
   Bread the chops.
5. 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. 6
   Set on a piece of waxed paper or baking sheet.
7. 7
   Repeat with the remaining chops.
8. 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. 9
   When the oil shimmers, add the chops and fry 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.

    Drain on paper towels and serve immediately with lemon wedges.

    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.
