Tuesday Recipe: Oven Fried Pork Chops

I don't often cook pork because I find it less versatile than most other meats. However, this recipe is quick, easy, inexpensive and tasty. The breading makes a crispy coating that makes a nice contrast to the pork.

OVEN FRIED PORK CHOPS

Ingredients:
3 Tbsp butter or margarine
1 egg, beaten
2 Tbsp milk
1 cup cornbread stuffing mix
4 pork chops

*****
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Melt butter in a baking dish by placing it in the preheating oven.

Stir together egg and milk.

Crush cornbread stuffing mix into smaller crumbs and place them on a plate.

Dip pork chops into egg mixture then coat with stuffing mix. Place pork chops in the prepared pan.

Bake for about 20 minutes, then turn them over and bake for another 10 – 15 minutes (until pork is no longer pink). The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the pork chops.
