Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For a crispier coating, let the breaded chops rest for 10 minutes before frying. Instead of Parmesan, you can use Pecorino Romano for a bolder flavor. If you're looking for a healthier option, substitute the butter with olive oil. Always ensure the oil is hot before adding the chops to achieve a nice golden crust.
