First time Pork Chops

(I love having access by Internet to all the recipes I have added to my blog. It has made life much easier while traveling and when people ask for the recipe.) I made Pork Chops for the first time and they were very good. I didn't eat one. I don't like meat. I have been wanting to cook meat however for Scott and Aunt Sue. I have been selfish not realizing how much I was only cooking chicken or no meat when Anthony brought over some sort of red meat and Scott and Aunt Sue went wild. I decided then and there to learn to cook red meat, pork all kinds of things I don't eat because they still might like to have variety and they definitely don't want to be vegetarian. I got the recipe from Everyday Italian. Giada De Laurentiis is a chef I have learned from while sneaking in the few hours per month I can while Scott is engaged with some hunting project or home teaching. Scott helped me cook tonight. It was a little stressful. We finally got our groove down and every plate was empty. Anthony, Salina, Emilee, Aunt Sue, and Scott gave it 2 thumbs up.

Parmesan-Crusted Pork Chops
Recipe courtesy Giada De Laurentiis
2 large eggs
1 cup dried Italian-style bread crumbs
3/4 cups freshly grated Parmesan
4 (1/2 to 3/4-inch thick) center-cut pork loin chops
(each about 10 to 12 ounces)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 tablespoons olive oil
Lemon wedges, for serving

Whisk the eggs in a pie plate to blend. Place the bread crumbs in another pie plate. Place the cheese in a third pie plate. Sprinkle the pork chops generously with salt and pepper. Coat the chops completely with the cheese, patting to adhere. Dip the chops into the eggs, then coat completely with the bread crumbs, patting to adhere. Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a very large skillet over medium heat. Add pork chops, in batches if necessary, and cook until golden brown and the center reaches 150 degrees, about 6 minutes per side. Transfer the chops to plates and serve with lemon wedges.
