Cooking Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F or 375°F for consistent cooking. Line a baking sheet with foil and place a cooling rack on top to allow for air circulation while baking.

In a shallow bowl, beat together the egg and water to create an egg wash. In another shallow bowl, combine the Panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.

Season the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides. Dip each chop into the egg wash, making sure it's fully coated, then transfer it to the breadcrumb mixture, pressing down gently to guarantee an even coating.

Once all the pork chops are coated, place them on the cooling rack. Drizzle the tops with melted butter or spritz with cooking spray for added flavor and moisture.

Bake the pork chops in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until they're no longer pink in the center and reach an internal temperature of 145°F. If desired, broil for a few additional minutes to achieve a golden-brown crust.

Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the oven and let them rest for about 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.

For the best experience when cooking Parmesan Baked Pork Chops, consider using a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature accurately.

This will help guarantee your pork chops are perfectly cooked without being dry.

Additionally, feel free to experiment with different seasonings or add herbs to the breadcrumb mixture for an extra layer of flavor.

Enjoy your meal with your favorite sides for a complete dining experience!
