Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 lb pork chops about 4 chops, 1-inch thick
- 1.5 cup buttery round cracker crumbs finely crushed
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 tbsp mayonnaise for coating
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter melted
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 0.75 tsp paprika smoked or sweet
- 0.75 tsp kosher salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 tsp cayenne pepper optional
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley for garnish
- 1 tsp olive oil for greasing the rack
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Heat oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan with foil and place a wire rack on top.
- Brush or rub the rack with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Mix cracker crumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and cayenne in a bowl.
- Stir melted butter into the crumbs until evenly moistened.
- Pat pork chops dry. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on both sides.
- Press each chop into the crumb mixture, coating all sides well.
- Arrange chops on the rack. Bake until golden and 145°F inside, about 20–22 minutes.
- Broil 1 minute for extra crunch, if desired. Rest 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle with parsley and serve warm.
Notes
Variation: Mix 1 tsp Dijon into the mayonnaise for tang, or swap Parmesan with sharp cheddar for a different bite. Air fryer option: cook at 380°F for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway. Store leftovers in the fridge up to 3 days; reheat on a rack at 350°F for 8–10 minutes to re-crisp.
